Fitment here is deliberately narrow: this is the factory service and repair manual Toyota published for the 1986 Land Cruiser, written around the 4.2L six (3F-E) in Base form, so the clearances, torque values and adjustment sequences you work to are the ones specified for this model year and not figures borrowed from an adjacent year that merely looks the same.

Known issues on the 1986 Land Cruiser. One recall is on federal record for this model year, filed under rear seat belts: the rear seat lap belt may not return to fully retracted position after use, and consequently the belt could not be released. Owners have filed 1 complaint for the year, and 8 technical service bulletins are on record.
Whether the job in front of you is that rear lap belt retractor, one of the conditions behind those eight bulletins, or a routine service interval, working from the 1986 book keeps you on Toyota's own procedure and the correct specification for this truck.
