Axle identification help

Well I found a matching set of 91 FJ80 axles I'm going to see about buying this afternoon and I was hoping someone could tell me how I can in fact make 100% sure these are FJ80 axles. I'm paying $500 for the front and rear good deal?

It's a decent price but if I remember correctly the rear diff on FJ80's are offset to the right. Not centered like 'normal' Toyota rear axles.
I would it to be sure

I should have mentioned the rear is a FJ60 with 9.5 pinion, not sure if that makes a difference of not

I still have a ways to go learning about Land Cruisers, but https://forum.ih8mud.com/ is a great Land Cruiser forum resource.

I am sure many Google searches will go there.

Zuk, cut the dif sections out of the LC and Taco rear axle to swap over to 9.5 center. Welded 9.5 center in and braced welds. He did open the dif housing face to visualize axle alignment into dif carrier. A BA swap.

yep, my neighbor recentered a mini truck axle with a 9.5" diff and got almost a grand for it. tons of work can't remember if he had to have custom axles cut or not it was a few years ago.
