So other than a really crappy respray paint job…what is this telling me

1994, elockers Does this tell color code?

When you gotta know, ask the man:

 

[Malleus]

C/TR = Color (183)/ Trim (LB10) = Brown leather

A/TR = Axle - K294 (9.5" ring, 4 pinion), Transmission - A442F (automatic, hydraulically operated, 4wd)

^^^beat me to it^^^


183 is the body color. LB10 is for the leather (grey) interior (most 80's brought into the US came with Leather except for a small percentage
of "Poverty Packs" which came with cloth). FWIW

FJ80 Color Code Examples

Member @ToyotaReference created an excellent color chart and website for the FJ80 (and lots of other vehicles), but a lot of the reference photos are dated and low resolution. I thought I'd create a chart with more up to date examples. Here is the website and color chart: ImportArchive / Toyota...

294 is the axle code so it should have locking diffs, but not 100% guarantee ie: if someone replaced the door with
one from a locked 80 (with that VIN sticker), or replaced the axles with non-locked axles

Thanks for that. I’ve owned 6 80 series but ever had to question one until now I’ve always gotten from 1st owners or complete history.

I digress.
Im looking at buying one, and I already know it’s been in an accident and badly repainted, it underneath is clean, low miles and locked. (I refuse the term triple locked) it drives like it has low miles

I just couldn’t remember color codes as I was pretty sure this was gray before the white.

The interior is gray but you said brown. Im pretty sure it’s original and LB10 from a quick google is gray. I would be shocked if they swapped the whole interior that well compared to the outside paint.

Hey, I’m busting in on the paint code thing. I’ve looked at all the paint codes and I can not find the code for the silver used on the bumpers, gauge cluster of a 40 series. Is it the silver grey T450? Some searches are calling it ash grey?
Thanks

My mistake, 10 is grey; 41 is brown.
