Toyota Axle info?!?

[SuziCrazy]

What gears would a 1973 toyota Landcruiser have? how's the pingion offset ect... any info is good info

[xtrmtoy]

I assume you're referring to an FJ40.

Gears are likely 4.11s. Diffs are both offset to the passenger side and the pinions are the weaker ones. Oh! And it has drums in the front.

Oh! And it has drums in the front.

And c-clip axles :(

Axles
Regular Land Cruiser axle housings are similar to a Ford 9" and differential carriers are similar in construction to a Chevy 12bolt. The front and rear differential housings are both offset to the right in all models except some '58-62's which were centered. They have an 9.25" ring gear. The axle shafts are 33mm in diameter (the same as a some Dana 60's) 1960-67 shafts had 10 coarse splines while 68 and later shafts have 30 fine splines. In 1968, the front axle CV joints changed from ball joints to Birfield. Full Floating Axles have smaller shafts because the entire weight of the truck is bourne by the wheel bearings and the shaft itself is not loaded in flexure.

Light Duty axle housings are the same as those used in Toyota Pickup trucks. They feature a smaller housing constructed similarly to the heavy duty Land Cruiser. The ring gear is only 8" but the axle shafts are the same size and have the same number of splines as the regular Land Cruiser.

60/2 Series axles are 70mm wider than 40 series.

70 Series axles are 20mm wider than 40 series.

Solid Rear 1979-1985 3.90, 4.10, 4.30, 4.38 55" 8" 1 5/16" 30 4.38s only available in 1980, 3.90s only available in 1981, 8" drums.

Solid Rear 1986-1995 4.10, 4.30, 4.56, 4.88 58"-58 1/2" 8" 1 5/16" 30 10" rear drums, V6 and turbo applications used stronger third member with larger bearings and bigger third member, coil sprung 4Runner axles are 1/2" wider than pickup axles, factory 4.88s available in vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions starting in 1992, but the pinion is moved closer to the ring gear than on all the other 3rds. This makes it so they can use a standard thickness ring gear instead of an extra thick one. This "thin" 4.88 gear is only made by Toyotas.
Solid Rear 1995-??? ??? 58 1/2"-60" 8" 1 5/16" 30 Tacoma axle uses the same brakes and third member as previous pickup axle, somewhere during Tacoma production the rear axle changed from 58 1/2" to 60".

No V6 in 85 so it will have the one-piece windowed carrier......unless it has been swapped out. You can tell the difference by looking at the third member. The V6 third has ribs along the sides while the 4 cyl third does not.
