never mind i found some on other web site .. too much work    to convert using mini truck parts and  too much $$  using MAF kits

Its one of the easiest upgrades using mini truck knuckles.  Takes about a hour a side at the most.

I believe 69 landcruiser axles are course spline do not switch them into your runner

Correct, '69 FJ is coarse spline junk.  Best use a truck axle '79 -'85
'82 pickup, +3, locked, doubled
'82 pickup, IFS long travel, V8
'85 4runner, V8 rock crawler
'88 X-cab, V6
