I own a '94 FZJ80, and I noticed in the '94 Brochure posted on toyotareference.com that the CDL was standard. Mine does not have CDL, just the ATC (Transmission) button. Any thoughts?

Those wheels look nearly like the stock 15" rims on my 1/90 62! Bringing it back home shooter....nice!

Mine has 206,000 with absolutely no slipping. The only problem I have is hard shifts occasionally from 2-3, P-R, and very very occasionally P-1. It doesn't always happen and my fluid levels are always good with good color, but I don't know if I really have a problem or not. A mechanic once...

My 62 does not turn the lights off. Therefore, jumper cables in the rear storage....always.

My 94 turns the lights off when you open the door.

It has got FZJ80 16" wheels by the look of it. Also a proud owner of a stock 62. The square lights rule. Welcome!

I had seen pics of the 2008 Cruiser on this site and others, but I hadn't the interest in 2008 Highlaner pics. I actually saw a 2008 Highlander over the weekend, and I thought it was the new cruiser!!!! It seemed too small (especially next to my 80), but I wasn't sure what I was looking at...

Totally, Tom! I am such an idiot sometimes. The "no-brainer" solution had eluded me completely. Thanks! I am off to call the wreckers now! And thanks for all the help on this from all of you. ps - my Stealership shop guy is going to get me the wiring diagrams free of charge.

Thanks for the help guys. Do I get that diagram from the dealership, then?

The wires were cut short, and where do I start to know what wires go with what pins?

Good day mudders. When doing a recent stereo deck install, I noticed that I had a couple of plugs missing. The ECT plug and the Power antenna plug have been cut off! How screwed am I? This was done by the PO for some unknown reason, and I now know why neither of these features work. Can I...

I was curious. If this is true about the "tow package", then why does the manual say that you can tow 2000 more pounds if you have the tow package? I am not contradicting you, I am just trying to understand this about my 80.

When I bought my 80, the rear seats were in the cargo area, but not mounted. I tried to mount them in place, and must have been doing something wrong. Should the bracket that goes over the wheel well support bar actually lock to that bar?

Since this was an F150 we are talking about (size wise only) I think the damage would have extended beyond bumper and frame ends. I guess I just think that brush guards get a bad rap. having something seems better than nothing to me. Of course, an ARB is going to give you armored car like...

Okay, I'm grabbing my fire extinguisher. I can see from the pictures that the "damage multiplier" definitely damaged the quarter panels, radiator, grill, etc...., but in my question is this: wouldn't his front end damage be worse without the brush guard. In other words...brush guard vs. ARB...
