No lighting until I finalize the last wiring circuit. HDJ81 uses a dual filament corner bulb and drastically different wiring.

No flares, sorry

Updated 12/8/23! Completely dismantled body and interior, let me know what you need. I'd love to see the entire interior go all at once.. but that's never the case. Let me know what you want to see better pictures of. Some parts not shown in attached pics. - Front outer fenders are gone -...

correct. Historically they were not made with UV resistant plastic, or plastics that did not hold up well to UV light. I think Toyota was still using some of those interior parts plastic beads (hangover from 1st gen components) on some of the HDJ parts like the bottom half of the center console...

The main issue with reproducing washer bottles is really at the end of the day you can largely make anything work. Just ask my '67 Scout where it's bottle came from 😄

i have an extra washer bottle :geek: who needs one lol. The dash hvac/stereo instrument cluster part would be interesting... however, I'd bet the black dash cluster 'shroud' part above that would be needed more. The cluster shroud mounting holes tend to blow out.

wild.. i am half done on a '76 LB trailer as well! after finished with the body mounts to the '92 frame, I'm going to drop the top half of an 80 series on it... and see how it looks haha. It's so hard to find the narrow but long toppers. And only those that exist are 40+yrs old and not a great...

There are quite a few writeups on installing retractable side mirrors to an FZJ, but most address the mechanics and nothing completes the install or the wiring circuitry, so it made sense for me to document and post this. @mot & @S.CarolinaFZJ80 come in with the most useful info in THIS THREAD...

Nice! Thanks for posting the picture. What's that gas button do? Tank Switching?

Would be interesting seeing what plugs are present in the dash harness... I'd suspect everything. I also noticed a few spots where it seemed there should be cables and there aren't, which now makes sense! They produced one part for some of the boxes, but some with cable op dampers. I do have a...

OK so here's a quick post on switching from Auto to Manual climate. I'm interested for someone to try it... As far as I can tell, the manual climate system diverts all of the sensors that the auto system uses. It does this very simply, by the use of a jumper plug in parallel with the main...

I need to dive into this fairly soon.. any chance your rs3000 plug under seat looks like this? This is a 1994 FZJ. This is behind the driver rear door in the rear fender cavity on this harness. It routes to an additional plug that mates to the dash harness that doesn't exist on the '92 (HDJ81)...

Just read that! Thnx
