80 or 100

[Pskhaat]

93-94 has three seatbelts in the third row.

Fascinating! My 80 is a weird one. I have cloth, but a lot of strange options were one it from the factory like a drivers' side grab handle and a sub-tank switch (without a sub-tank). Wonder if I have an off-one and with only two 3rd row shoulder belts. Hmmmm.....

Do your rear windows slide or are they fixed?

I should have mentioned that they do slide (which is good for ingress/egress of the kiddos in the 3rd row car seats . I believe only 80s without 3rd row seats had fixed?

There were a few other oddities/simplicities with my 80 (especially since it is a 1996 and not a transitional 1993) that I'm not remembering now.

I have only wheeled with 100's twice. Both times the owners broke "stuff" on the front wheels.

Please expand. Are you talking about the steering rack, lower control arms, the torsion bar saddles, lower ball joints, CV boots, tie rod ends, etc? When you say wheels are you speaking literally or figuratively? I mean, was it actually a brake caliper, hub, wheel bearing or maybe an ABS sensor or are you just saying the elusive 'something' broke up front?

Oh, I thought you had an early 80. My 97 had two rear shoulder belts too.

They were spider looking gears located on each of the front wheel hubs. We removed them and the front drive shaft and the 100 was able to drive in 2 wd only.

I have the driver's side grab bar in my '94 too. The sub-tank switch is a good one.

The middle seatbelt for the third row is a lap belt and is integrated into the seats. Maybe your 80's third row seats are from a younger vintage 80?

You mean the one up above your head. I have the a-pillar one, but one above the head just like on the passenger's.
