Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Land Cruiser 80 series - Off-road Comparison

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Land Cruiser 80 series - Off-road Comparison
In this video, we tested the off-road capabilities of two iconic off-road vehicles, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, and Land Cruiser 80 series. They are both solid front and rear axle, on 35 inch Mud Terrain tires, and fully locked on each differential. Which one would you pick?

The 80 series land cruiser is prolly my favorite off road suv of all time. It’s just perfect. Solid axles, triple locked, absolute beast from the factory and super easy to mod. I have a 4runner and love it and wish Toyota would throw in front and rear lockers on the 4Runners but these 80 series are gems today and super hard to find or super expensive with tons of miles on them but they do last literally forever.

[@4WDisLife]

Yea. As long as you can deal with old cars small quirks

The ones from the mid 90s (4runner) used limited slip diffs.

[@6806goats1]

97 80 series owner, I gotta go with the LC. Had a new 2012 Rubicon on order at one time but work was sketchy so I pulled the order. Found my 80 in 2016 but it's all stock at 186,000 miles. Head gasket time and then figure out the 35's and 4.56 or 4.88's. Triple locked. Guess I'm a Toyota fan since I own 3 of their products.

[@4WDisLife]

That’s nice that you also own a triple locked lc80. Don’t ever get rid of it

[@robertclark2714]

I own 2 third generation 4Runners an an LX450. Reliable, tough, well engineered and all going up in value each day.

[@NKPGarage]

Great comparison video. The 80 series suspension definitely wins this one.

[@ajfarson]

This was a good video. I would argue that where the 80 (and all Land Cruisers) will outshine virtually any other platform is in their ability to take abuse. Doing a mechanical comparison between STOCK Rubicon vs. 80 Series suspension and steering components will show you why. I have seen stock 80 Series axles handle 40-inch tires in the rocks under hard wheeling conditions for years and have no breakage. The G550 4x4 Squared (portal axle equipped) notwithstanding, you can't do that on any other "modern" 4x4. Dana 44's certainly cannot handle that sort of abuse, which is why hardcore Jeeps end up with 1-ton axles.

[@4WDisLife]

yes. As the land cruisers frame components are built to withstand much more than the current Jeeps

[@charlesshankle3178]

My final two choices for an overlander are between an 80 series land cruiser and the G class. The durability is the reason why.

[@rayjon237]

joke our here is just buy the jeep body and frame you will be replacing everything else anyway...

[@Sideapotatoes]

I have an 80 series and a 79 scout 2 that came with Dana 44s. They're actually pretty good axles and less complicated than the 80 but I plan to do 35s on the 80 and I have 1 tons for the scout which I'll cut the rusted fenders and put on some 40s. I love both of them.

[@chadibouaazzi3364]

As an Owner of a Lexus LX450 on 33’s I love the capability, reliability, inexpensive parts, and most importantly the on/off-road ride quality. 80 series LCs are truly amazing machines and are a pleasure to drive. I opted for 33s for performance reasons. 35s on stock powertrain have a harder time towing especially along side gradients. So Colorado/Mountain terrain keep that in mind.

[@redhoward11]

I've been looking at 80 series and 450's, you better hold onto that 450. It's going to be worth a mint one day.

Inexespensive parts? Lol where u buyin parts

[@chadibouaazzi3364]

@@Southernbread686 many of the land cruisers 80 parts are shared with the 79series. Inexpensive is subjective. Remember an 80 series is a range topping SUV. But it’s way cheaper than a Cayenne, Tourareg, Range Rover, or Mercedes Benz GL of the same or similar era. And it’s mostly analog.

[@josephah2000]

[@justinmoore4088]

In this case, I think the driver in the Toyota and the Jeep running street pressure is what makes the difference in performance.

[@4WDisLife]

Agree

[@JK_Joyride]

Good job on making sure both vehicles are similarly setup with 35's and lockers but you failed in making sure both vehicles were aired down equally. Of course airing down will provide much better traction than street pressure. The Jeep lifted a rear tire because the tires on the ground were not aired down and not allowed to compress properly. Also, the 80 series used speed and momentum whereas the Jeep driver tried to crawl on the first hill climb. They should both be approaching with similar speeds. Keep all criteria consistent for a true comparison. Otherwise, nice job.

[@4WDisLife]

thanks! I certainly try to keep them as similarly setup as possible however, I am just happy I got both filmed because end of the day, they weren't out there for me to film, they were just having fun and I made the best out of it. Cheers.

[@whackityschmackitydo]

@@4WDisLife “but where you failed…” Lolol. For some people, cool free videos isn’t good enough.

[@duneattack]

I was wondering when someone was going to point out the dissimilar tire pressures. Airing down makes a huge difference offroad both in ride quality and for traction.

[@renold-ll4ro]

That 80 lc just gives you confidence that no other trucks can compete. Been a fan since I was 6, capable and luxury, it definitely aged well.

[@ryanhahn7251]

I’m an 80 owner and I have 4 family members with JK Wranglers and we have been off roading together for years. Advantage Jeep: MUCH better flex in the front axle. Was not apparent in the video but my 80 very often lifts a front tire where the Jeeps don’t. Short rear overhang; I have a Heavy duty steel rear bumper on my 80, and it has taken a severe beating. Jeeps rarely drag the rear bumper. Much better clearance at the rocker panels; Toyota, why oh why did you route the exhaust UNDER. the frame! Doors and top removable; this is a legit advantage off road because your visibility is so much better. Rubicon 4:1 transfer case; I have stalled out on very steep climbs with my 2.5:1 TC. Advantage 80: much better clearance under the gas tank and transfer case. Tie rod is behind the front axle where it is out of harms way (most common failure point for Jeeps in my experience). Transfer case high range can be regeared, instead of both axles. Full float rear axle; not only is it stronger, but broken axle shafts can be replaced without even removing the wheel. More durable and more reliable in every way. 3rd row seats.

[@rayjon237]

add a front sway bar disconnect on your 80 and some transfer case gears and really good shocks, if you really want front end travel superior front control arms.... , mine on 35's, 4.88 with high and low range transfer case gears will out crawl a jk any day. mine has been almost everywhere rubicon to mojave road in the last 20 years, the only thing I want in mine is a turbo diesel so I get more than 12mpg...

[@justinrichard6837]

I was in a ice storm with a few inches of ice on the interstate. It was crazy slick and watched multiple wrecks from even 4x4s. My 80 rocked i never had one issue. Interstate was shut down and the main highway got closed not long after. I was hours from home and between cities. I had no choice to push on. The build up of ice broke a tree and it was over the road. My 80 didnt care. She went right over it. The 3 hours it should have taken normally took 8 but my 80 never let me down. I have 450k miles on it now and would trust it to take me anywhere tomorrow. She has a om606 diesel now and 4.88 gears on 37s with bumpers, sliders, and winches. She is locked but thats factory. She is nothing special but she will go. I also am a jeep guy and have had rubicons, xy, zj, and yj. They all were built and took a lot more to compete with the cruiser. I love the low range of the rubicons factory. But overall the cruiser is hard to beat with factory drivetrain. Dont get me wrong i still have my jeeps and in crazy rocks or mud jeeps are better but over all drive in any condition on and off the road i say 80 is the champ over 99% of vehicles made.

[@stevenkhan4344]

FZJ80 is a better vehicle all around. 1. Cheaper cost 2. shorter wheel base than four door jeep 3. add high clearance bumpers & the depart/app angles are about the same. 4. remove the front sway bar which isn’t needed and it has way more flex than jeep 5. Triple locked free float axles 6. more reliable 7. more internal room 8. wider stance i think (not sure)

[@4WDisLife]

Good points

[@rayjon237]

cruiser needs the front sway bar pulled, and some 4x4 labs armor, and springs with a proper load rating (looks to stiff/light) , axle gears and transfer case gears would also help... my 93 has been everywhere from Rubicon to Mojave road in the last 20 years, loaded down heavy off road, the cruiser does way better, and the suspension and driveline is twice as strong as the jeep stuff, I challange any Jk without one ton axles and a lot of mods/$$ to carry the gear and load I do and follow me,,, in the Sierra's we see alot of broken jeeps, to break an 80 series is possible but it takes some work or poor maintence.. BTW I am at 300k miles with stock tie rods on 35's and alot of off road miles (now I carry spares but never needed them), find me any jeep at 300k with mostly stock driveline still going?????? totally different animal with a different purpose ..than a jeep..

Two excellent vehicles! I'd go with the 80, but I'd have a blast wheeling either. I'm curious though, did you see the front sway bar actually prevent the 80 from flexing or maintaining contact anywhere? I've always heard from people who drive them that the 80 swaybars are so soft, it has no problem fully articulating even without disconnecting or removing them. Obviously the Wrangler would have an advantage on pavement with a stiffer bar connected.

[@t0nit04]

@@4WDisLife In the rear - for sure! The full-floating axles can handle a lot of abuse because the drive shaft is not used to carry the weight of the car - that job is done by a stand alone wheel hub. The drive shaft is comparable in size with the Jeeps Dana 44 shaft. Toyotas 9.5" diff in the rear is almost overkill but also reduces ground clearance.
