I would have to pull the harness out of the cupboard to double check but if I recall it I only used one relay plus the stock 80 transmission switch relay, and the one relay was only needed because of my choice of switch, the transmission actuator needs power at all times in closed and open...

Yes I forgot to finish this thread, all went well with the install but then shortly after I removed it all to put it back to part time because I had to sell it to buy another dual cab ironically for my new daughter, have kept the gear to put into my fj45 one day

Started doing a pre wire, just enough room for the transmission relay and the switch-over relay behind there, I had a different spot picked out but my switch didn't fit the recess.

Also as far as cost goes it I have so far only spent a bit under $200 on parts including the transfer, only need to source a rear tailshaft and constant front hubs then the rest of the cost it labour

No it's 12V and as my first post states I sourced my switch off of eBay, there are various ones available in different colours and different countries for about $20 delivered, and lol no it won't catch fire the only purpose the switch serves is as a trigger to switch over the relay which takes...

I user to have a fairly new hilux and believe me it was great, just wack the 4x4 leaver in and keep driving, but I sold it for this as the hilux wasn't heavy enough for my sort of work, I carry tools/parts to service machinery on farm and also needed the towing capacity. I can't just leave it...

Also want to add a few diagrams that I used to work out how to wire the factory transmission relay, the first one is a little blury but you get the idea, it shows the factory cdl switch where most diagrams don't, the second diagram is that of a 100 series it also shows a factory cdl switch, few...

That's an excellent suggestion, I will just get it all working first then look into it lol. Speaking of drive shafts I had a rough measurement of my existing box and the full-time box today and as anyone could have guessed the front output is exactly the same and the rear output on the...

Picked up the full-time transfer the other day and have sat it down in my workshop and did a test run with the wiring, I ended up using a factory transmission relay and followed the factory wiring diagram minus the L4 switch and the neutral position switch, also note that my cdl engagement...

Not much progress yet but my cdl switch arrived the other day as pictured below, this should work exactly like the factory 80 switch but at a fraction of the cost

Not an option

Thanks I hadn't thought of that. The floor is quite high in the 79 but if need be depending on how much room I need I can always do a minor cab lift

Over the last number of weeks I have been gathering information to convert my fzj79 from part time 4wd to full time 4wd, I have good reason to do this conversion as I travel a lot of dirt roads in between stretches of bitumen and also on and off the road driving around the farm. I could find 0...
