Differences Between Frames? 4runner and FJ60
I am curious to know how much differnce there is to the front of the frames between the 4runner/mini truck and the Land Cruiser FJ60/63. Why? The land cruiser has the shackles in the front for their front axle, and i would rather have that design on my 4runner when i do a axle swap. I would like to know if the land cruiser is beefier, or relatively the same as the 4runner frame. If anyone has any info on this it would be appreciated.

Not 100% sure exactly what your asking, but maybe this helps:
The 4Runner solid axle is 55" wide and the FJ60 axle is 58.75", whether that's indicative of frame width or not, I don't know. The FJ60 axle looks narrow for the body, whereas the 4Runner axle looks wide, so there could be quite a discrepancy in frame widths.
There are tonnes of kits built specifically for 4Runner/ truck SAS.

Thanks Guys. I was wondering if the frame was say the same thinckness and built kind of the same specs as the 4runner, given i know that is asking a bunch since one is IFS and the other is solid. I am wanting to go with shackles forward.
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
