    80 series onwards are full time 4WD with a centre diff lock activated by ther stubby little gear stick, or a switch on the dash in high range.
    Having said that, the Government issue PP model still has free wheeling hubs but I have never seen a new one for sale at a dealership.

    (PP, Poverty Pack, vinyl upholstery, no electrics, no air, no central locking, skinny wheels etc etc)

    You can get a Cruiser to be a 2WD but it takes a bit of effort. If you get a chance, have a look at the latest Kedron Caravans DVD. Here they are, lugging their 3 tonne off-road van up some godforsaken track in Far Nth Qld. Coming up a steepish hill into a right turn when rrrrrrttttt. Ripped the guts out of the front diff. Fortunately, a simple trip to the nearest? dealer and gawd-knows how many thousands of $ later, back to new again.

    I don't know if they were using Z or WD pads though.
