The 70 series (heavy duty iterations) went to the same birfields as the 80 series at the same time. There is logic in what Toyota did across the wagons and the heavy duty 7x series trucks.
Then, in 1998, 7x series trucks went to the 10mm hub studs, front and rear, just like the 100/105 series. Again, showing that small incremental changes to engineering architecture are hallmarks of the design process for the Land Cruiser series (especially the heavy duty/wagon versions). Differential parts/bearings/gear ratios also changed for both platforms (based on powertrain/driveline options, platform and market-based).
