I bought a 4runner from a "dealer" who knew next to nothing about the vehicle. The price seemed right for a SAS 4runner so I jumped. I'm going to buy some 5.29's so I can crawl and not feel like a lawn-mower engine powers my vehicle.

Here's my problem, I'm new to SAS, and I've been told by different folks that these are FJ40 axles... and by others that they're fj60. Can you tell by looking at them? Is there a number that I could find somewhere that would shed some light on the situation?

Here they are... if you can tell by pics. Thanks. I don't know where I'd be without this site!

front axle looks to be a 79 or 80 mini truck axle based on the lack of a factory upper truss
if the rear axle is even a toyota and the pumpkins is about 1.5" bigger than the front pumkin it is off a Land Cruiser, but they are not normally center diff...

Some (40's) LC's have 9.5" ring Gear

Take pictures of the differentials (the opposite side of the axles from your original pictures) and we'd be able to better tell.

Rear axle is LC, exactly which one, not sure.
Must be nice to have an air locker up front, I am pretty sure from is an LC axle too.
Maybe check out scottyc's project intervention build up -be used LC 9.5" diffs with diamond axle housing.
If it wasn't so late i would ask my neighbor if I could take a peek at his FJ40 to get pics...

Bet the dealer didn't know what the little blue line going to the 3rd member did

Yeah... the dealer was pretty clueless... do you guys know if any toyota 9.5 r&p will work in these bad larrys?
