Land cruiser guys,,, need help identifying these axles.

blasterboy#92 · Mar 17, 2015

I'm new to the world of toy axles... hand me some tons or rocks and I can hold my own, and until now I didn't think toys would be all that different lol but damn if there aren't 1000 different series of these little things and since I do t have the axles in front of me to take measurements I'm having trouble narrowing it down. And so far the only thing the owner can tell me is that there land cruiser axles....

So since there are plenty of knowledgeable toy wheelers on this group I figured I'd save myself a lot of frustration and ask.

Thanks in advance, and I apologize for the lack of details in the pics. But look at that aspect as a challenge (;

Do they have removable diff covers? Can you post some larger pictures of the entire axles?

easleycrawler · Mar 17, 2015

I'm gonna take a guess, and say they are 60 series. I could be wrong.

Everything you've posted looks like normal yota axles...the pictures are TINY...how are you uploading them? Try copying the link to the pictures and inserting them between these...but take out all the spaces...i just had to put them in there so they'd show up for you

Now what gives it away for the assumption of being 60 series axles?

clemsonjeep · Mar 17, 2015

That's just Travis guessing...lol

clemsonjeep · Mar 17, 2015

Is the rear differential offset to the passenger side? Do either of them have a removable diff cover?

matth_85 · Mar 17, 2015

Is the rear diff offset? And what is WMS to WMS? Without that it's shooting in the dark.

blasterboy#92 · Mar 17, 2015

No I believe the diff is centered. And I wish I had them in front me to measure. But this is all I have to go by :cougar:

Ok they aren't FJ60 axles...or at least the rear isn't. If so...the rear would also be offset. This is a "good thing" though as the 60 series was most commonly a C Clip axle which is a weaker design for our uses. That's why they had removable diff covers too.

Being a centered rear axle...I'm gonna have to say that it's probably a standard from early 80's or an IFS rear housing from 86-95 toyota trucks. Until you can change the way the pictures are uploaded so that they are larger where we can actually see what they look like we're still guessing to a certain extent.

It looks like you're uploading the pictures to hardline somehow...don't do that. If you want you can either email or text them to me and I'll take a closer look. Shoot me a PM with your number or email and I'll reply.

Going out on a limb here...but I'd be willing to bet the guy that owns it just said "Land Cruiser" axles because he didn't know any better. My money is on them both being mini truck axles...
