Oh sorry, i read 80, instead of 70.
Yeah links arent tricky if you know what to do.
a 3 link front is relatively simple, one panhard bar and two links that go up to the frame..
It's the pinion angles and stuff that can get confusing at times.
But i suppose with an adjustable pinion angle thingy it wouldnt be all that bad, and the hardest part would be fabbing up the links.
Definitely go check and see if it's a leaf spring or coiled front.

yeah i do need to go check this thing out. i don't even know what it looks like... could be all rusted out for all i know.
i deffinatly want to do a leaf spring sas with my yota, might be a dumb reason but i think it looks alot better, and i know it's easier (i'm doin' a sas on my s10 right now)
the axel being a little wider might actually work out better, won't be any fender trimming to do

Asin made Toyota axles, not Toyota... So if could be from a Mitsubishi or Isuzu...
If it's a LC frame and axles, and is leaf spring it's proly a Fj60-62 frame& axles.
They are WAY overkil and wide if you ask me, seeing as how hard Mini axles are to break.
Check the front pinion to see if it's High or Low pinion... It'll be low, b/c nobody in their right mind would leaf a coil sprung chassis...

Well, landcruiser front ends arent leaf sprung.
They're all coil springs, so you'd have to do a much more in-depth swap.
The ride quality would be amazing though, and many users would give you mad props for being gutsy.
I gues the LC axles also have much more expensive parts, so be weary of that.

Every LC up to the Fj80 has leaf springs... That's Fj40, 45, 55, 60, 62.
