This is a discussion thread titled "Are all FJ80's Solid Front Axle?", within the Land Cruiser forum, part of the SUV Forums category.
Yes, all FJ80 (91-92) and all FZJ80 (93-97) are solid front axle. 93+ got full floater rear axle, and optional front/rear lockers, 1FZFE engine (big difference in power), 4 wheel disc brakes, ABS... HERE are some differences over the years of production. Also, check the FAQs at the ih8mud forum, 80-Series Tech - IH8MUD.com Forum

Thanks, that is what I thought so the 93 and on are the most desirable. I am actually thinking about selling my tundra and just switching over all together. I looked online alot this weekend and different things and think it would be a fun platform to start on. So lockers were optional front and rear? that is good to know are they electric lockers? are they as good as arb's?
Thanks
Zach

They are electric lockers, they were optional, and there is a rotary switch to the left of the steering wheel, on the dash. All 80s had a center diff lock, sometimes less knowledgeable people, advertise these as "locked", but you want the one with the rotary switch. They are better than ARB's IMO, because they are essentially free, most people do not know they have them or what they are for, or that they have any value. The ARBs supposedly lock a little faster though.
