hello everyone. i just bought a 1991 4 litre petrol 80 series. its a full time four wheel drive. i have a few questions. firstly when changing gears wat revs should i bring the car up to before changing? is 3000 rpm the usual? secondly am i just supposed to drive around in four wheel drive high because there is no way to take it out of 4 wheel drive? it might sound like a silly question but i just want others input on this cause i dont really know this car that great yet and i want to get to know all the proper ways to use it. thanks callum

full time 4WD has an extra diff in the middle, there should be a button or lever to lock it for offroad? The 100 series has a button and lock automatically if in low range.
Is it missing the glovebox handbook? Go to a 4wd wreckers and you'll get one for about $5, usually they cover all variants and it will tell you EVERYTHING you need to know!

Hopefully you got the 4L injected motor and not the early carby motor version?
It is a full time 4WD. Some of the 80's had a centre diff lock button and some didnt (but I think they were the later ones). You need to visit www.lcool.org, register and then ask there as the site has a wealth of info on Landcruisers.

You'll find all the answers here -
Toyota Fourbie Owners Forum
Full Time 4WD is effectively All Wheel Drive - when you go off road engage the Centre Diff Lock.
As for revs, 3k sounds about the mark, it depends on how you like to drive.

For max economy 3000 rpm is to much in a push rod OHV motor that was designed in the 30s, 2500rpm would be better, but if you are trying to pass a b double then take it up to 4000rpm.

you will find the good ol 3f doesnt like revving too much...they make max torque at 1800-2000 rpm, so change gear sufficiently to put the motor at 2000 in the next gear is the best advice. If you would like a motor manual to assist you doing your own maintenance, there is one on ebay.
