I just completed mine a couple days ago. This tool worked like a charm. No strap wrench or chisel needed! Used a regular 3/8 drive ratchet, I think a standard 3/8 drive breaker bar may have been even better but I didn’t have one on hand. Had to stop a couple times and triple check I was...

Here are photos of the switch and internals and the wiring harness I'm using (came from stock heated seat switch but shouldn't matter much). The rear heat switch is the grey one in the photos. The black body switch is a stock 100 series heated seat switch which I don't think will work for my...

Hello everyone, I need some assistance to push this project across the finish line. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get this OEM rear heat switch wired up in a completely functional manner with working indicator lights. I have spent hours scouring the forums and trying different...

Looks awesome, thanks for posting those photos. Definitely interested in purchasing when you have units that will work for a land cruiser. Is there a way to look inside my tailgate and determine if my lock barrel is the type that interferes with the single latch version? I seem to recall reading...

Would love to purchase one of these tailgate kits! They look awesome. Nice work. I will keep an eye out for the finished shopify store, or if there is an easier way to purchase directly also down for that. I have a 2006 TLC. Wondering about the double latch situation, is it much more hassle to...

Any news on an upcoming group buy? Would love to grab one for my 100! -Pat

Wow my truck developed this exact problem for the first time ever last night while driving on the highway in a bad snow storm. Interestingly my truck was hit in the driver fender/bumper last year and these were replaced but I have yet to reinstall the washer fluid reservoir and fender liner that...

Would love to purchase one of these if still available! Will send a PM.

I too would be curious about which codes it’s throwing. I assume the answer is “not possible,” but I wonder about the potential of retrofitting EVAP system from earlier 100s that have the charcoal canister under hood, are compatible with these LRA tanks, etc. Or deleting it… or potentially...

Bump. Just spent way too much time reading this instead of studying for my board exam that’s in 2 days. But I thoroughly enjoyed it and picked up some nice tips and mods I’ll have to do in the future! How hard was the seat foam replacement? I added seat heaters to my old 4runner and had a...

Gotcha. Yeah, gonna be a bit of a tricky fab job. I'll probably have to find someone who actually welds professionally to help me with it. Is there some degree of wiggle room in the filler neck? I assume there is since your attachment ended up being at a different angle than the original...

thanks for reporting back. Looks like an awesome trip. Are you suggesting something along these lines? When you refer to swapping the whole tank top over? Apologies for the sloppy mockups. Just trying to get a general idea. Seems like it might be tough to find straight lines to cut that...

Have the EVAP leak codes stayed away after clearing? Do you feel like you’ve arrived at a permanent solution with the transplanted filler neck?

Excellent to hear! Was more thinking of AHC lines that run down the frame physically getting in the way in some fashion, but either way sounds like that’s not the case!

Just read through everything. This is awesome. Huge props for taking the plunge and showing the rest of us that this is technically possible. Please keep us posted on what comes of the EVAP codes & boiling fuel issue. Curious to hear how the process goes for @J1000 Will likely be ordering one...
