Do you still have those wheel center caps from your earlier pics?

On the question of how to de-pin this style of connector, am I pushing up on the small tab underneath the male connector, then pulling the wire from behind? Edit: you pull the center white connector lock out first, then depress the tabs underneath the pins to release

Spoke too soon yesterday, the same issue persists as described above. Seem to have narrowed it down to a wiring issue. Voltage is simply not reaching pin 2 on the actuator. Confirmed relay works, can hear it clicking along with passing all continuity tests in the FSM. The issue lies in the...

Ended up being the 4lo position switch that I previously "fixed"... it was stuck on. Replaced it with a new unit and CDL now functions as it should 👍. Now onto exercising the front and rear lockers, time to find some dirt

Bought a used CDL actuator motor in anticipation of replacing the one on my rig but ended up not needing it. I tested the operation and it works flawlessly. These are NLA new from Toyota as far as I can tell and difficult to rebuild. I am into it for $150, they typically go for more so I am...

Still stumped on the CDL issue. Pulled and tested the relay according to the FSM and a writeup at Troubleshooting the Toyota FJ80 Land Cruiser Center Diff Lock (CDL) - - https://www.pnwadventures.com/toyota-fj80-landcruiser-cdl-troubleshooting/, it passed every test. I was able to unlock the...

I have a working used unit for sale, if interested.

Trying to diagnose the stuck-on locked CDL, pulled the actuator and it functioned correctly with 12v to the connector. Fuse is good, tested and fixed two out of 3 switches on the transfer case. The only one I couldn't get to pass a continuity test was the one on the very top of the T-case, a...

Recent work has been resolving the no power-steering after the rebuild. Took apart the pump again and discovered catastrophic damage, didn't notice it the first time so must have done something wrong during the initial rebuild? Hard to see but metal is seared off on opposite ends Appears...

P/S pump if you haven't sold the motor already?

New P/S lines, low and high pressure along with the rebuilt pump. New Aisin water pump New Toyota brass radiator Buttoned up and started immediately first crank to my surprise (usually forget something stupid) and idled fine. Flushed P/S as well as cooling system with distilled water...

Finished up rebuilding the P/S pump with the Toyota reseal kit.

Been a while since I've posted. Have been able to do some work here and there. Resealed valve cover up, replaced almost all heater hoses, hcv, vacuum lines, distributor, etc.

Know this is a long shot but any salvageable mufflers and tailpipes for a 97?

I'm in the same boat, not sure if I want to drop Toyota money on the muffler and tailpipe but seems like the best option... mixed reviews on auto parts stuff as expected
