After looking at others, I think I had this priced too high, so lowering the ask. She drives great and works perfect as is, or would be a terrific base for a restore. Would love any feedback on concerns and/or pricing.

Yeah, I figured it might be a bit tough to sell given the uniqueness. I also have no idea what to even price it at. Yours seems to be in better shape (at least on the outside) than mine is, so I dropped the price a bit. May give Bring a Trailer a shot as well, we'll see. Good luck with yours.

Selling my 1981 RHD JDM BJ44 with 2B engine and 197,278 km (122,582 miles). Was used as an occasional fun driver, but just don't have the time to get it out much anymore. It runs great and I've taken it over passes and 4 wheeling in the mountains with no issues. I'm asking $17.5k, but willing...

That makes sense, thanks again. I'll also check out the ammeter fuses.

You were right, @lostmarbles, there's an issue with the wire that has the yellow link. I could have sworn that I tested each of the connections on the downstream harness, but must have missed one as I retested this afternoon and wasn't hot on one connection. Did some additional checking and...

Yeah, I'm getting power at the white and green clips in that picture, which are downstream from those links, so don't think it's that. I haven't had a chance to do any more digging over the last few days, but will be back at it again tomorrow. I'll double check those links as they look like a...

I haven't specifically tested it yet, but I don't think I'm getting anything from ignition to starter as I think the issue is before that point. I'm not getting power anywhere, so it's broader than just the starter. I have power at the starter, the voltage regulator, and at the connections...

So I did a little more digging this evening. Like I said, I'm getting power to the battery cable going to the starter. Fuses all look good. I checked and the starter wire is getting power. I also checked each connection that was exposed along the wires attached to that cable and have power...

No, battery 1 has negative connected to ground and positive connected to negative on battery 2. Battery 2 has positive connected to starter. I can't for the life of me think of what else could have changed. I literally disconnected the terminals for both batteries, put new batteries in, and...

Grrr.. I replaced the batteries late last night, so didn't try to start her until this morning. I'm getting no power from the batteries at all. No interior light, no click when I try to start the glows, no aux power. I checked and both batteries are reading 12.5 or better. When I check the...

Thanks everyone. I charged up the batteries and was able to get her started again. After waiting a bit, the batteries were low again, so I replaced both with the same model battery. Thanks again for all of the help.
