Jim, thank you. That is a good find. With the shippers coming in a few hours, I’m not going to risk dismantling it right now, but when it arrives at home, I’ll see what I can do with it. I’m surprised this isn’t still included with the instructions for the long bodies.

I’ll check it out when it gets to the house, but didn’t see anything in the instruction manual, and the only videos I could find on it didn’t show anything like it. I also pulled the end out to max extension, measured from the flange face and then measured the body of the hub minus the inner...

So, a couple of months ago, I asked if anyone had measurements for the long birfs because I wanted to replace the factory flanges with hub locks. While my 43 is a 78, so many items had been changed out that I had no way to tell if they were actually the long birfs. After getting a bunch of...

I've seen the fans both ways, and a variety of pulleys, but mine has the larger 12si back openings. Either way, they pretty much fit the same places. your brackets are impressive. I'm trying my best to make this work so I don't have to solve this problem again once I'm ready to do the A/C...

78 with 2f, I'm switching to a 12si alternator. Since A/C is one of the items on the list, I also picked up the vintage air dual bracket for compressor and GM 10/12si, vintage air part 158209. I test fit it, and the result is a 5/8" face offset, with a 3/4" groove center offset. Picture...

And I almost immediately found my answer. I have a bj series switch in my fj. Also a correction, centers are source, not ground. Oh well, live and learn😄

I’m checking all the switches before I start connecting the wire harness, and the horn switch is giving me an issue. I’ve looked at coolermans wiring diagram, still can’t figure it out. Green/rd in seems correct, but the white out doesn’t get continuity, nor does it even appear to be a part...

That is excellent, thank you. the bag of sockets and bulbs should also take care of the E-brake light issue once i find the switch (or as i expect, the hole where the switch used to be). Short of some odds and ends of bolts that I can get locally, I think I have everything sorted to tackle...

Did you have to install in one of the IN5408 diodes when you went to an incandescent bulb, or did the bulb alone do the job?

the light bulbs in question...

BLUFF, two questions I'm looking to try and find an answer for (and I promise neither question is what to do with the wires): 1. Will the LEDs in the picture at the bottom fit the bill for a diode/idiot light in this swap? 2. given the particular challenges I'm facing with my current...

Thanks, I’ll start looking up the pat numbers on that. Eventually I’ll probably have both an upper and lower accessory as ps and A/c are both on the list. I’m looking for an 88-97 hilux in the local junkyard, hoping to pull a whole system. Pretty sure the lhd 4wd ones used the same steering...

For most people, it looks like one of the easier mods. There’s a few threads in the faq section. Mad electrical’s part numbers are out of date, but I’ve been putting together a list of the new delco part numbers by amperage that I’ll post soon to update it.

So with the fuel injection, dui distributor, new wiring harness and other stuff on order, I decided to turn my attention to the alternator. The previous owner had what I can only describe as a denso 8 wire alternator installed (3 to the voltage regulator, 8 foot of 16 gauge around the back of...

That is a wonderful collection, seems like it might be worthy of a new thread. A lot of people might not see them in here.
