I am assuming you mean the tie rod?

I believe not. The 80 series cruiser has larger tie rod ends, and the tie rod is a bigger thread to, so you cant use your TREs with the 80 tie rod.

How ever. You can use a tie rod from a later model hilux, TREs are the same taper, but the actual tie rod is bigger than the RN series tie rods. Also if you go to toyota and buy a TRE, you should get the tie rod for FREE.

Hope that helps.
