80 Series Parts list For 40/80 Swap

Finding the right 80 series for the project.

This is just a guide you should always find out from the engineer you will be using for all the information that will suit your build. You can put all my products and information to the engineer or even better let him search my website.

Keep in mind to find a chassis no newer than 1997/7 this can prove difficult by having to comply with the regulations of the newer chassis. Making it harder to engineer with side extrusion bars in doors, air bags and extra ADRs we don’t need.

Make sure you inspect the chassis for any rust, damage and dodgy welding. Start with a good base.

All 80 series chassis are the same but  the later year models come with rear disc brakes. 1992 Onwards came out with 16inch  brakes. ( all Toyota axles parts are very interchangeable)

My personal opinion is to get one as cheap as you can with the parts you need.

What i mean by this is don’t over pay just cause its running it could still need a ton of work. Unless you want to put it together quick on a budget and get it on the road.  It  might already have the engine you want so it might be worth paying more, but its easy to get parts and rebuild them either way.

You can get Factory part time transfer cases too.

There are stronger T cases out there. But these are cheap and easy to source, plus plenty of replacements parts available.

Lots of adaptors on the market for all different engine combos. so it makes it a good for adapting to strong gear boxes.
