That is correct, it is an available option. It is not Techflex, but very similar. Will send you a message to discuss details.

Received my kit from @Fourrunner on Saturday morning. This is a truly impressive set of cables. No time to install them this weekend, but hope to find a spare couple of hours this week to put them on.
Fourrunner responded to my initial PM almost immediately, was very helpful, and got my cables to me so quickly that I was shocked.
Thank you!

Will do. Thank you again. I'll post up some pics when I've got the new cables installed.

I ordered a heavy duty cable kit for my '62 from @Fourrunner. First off, as noted above, the quality is amazing.
The reason that I ordered the kit is that I wanted to go over my major ground points, replacing old cables with the new ones... because my dash voltage gauge started jumping when I came to a stop and engaged the turn signal and got worse when other accessories/lights were in use. From what I've read on the forum, this can be a typical issue, but it bugged me. I took my truck into a "professional" a couple of weeks ago, hoping that it would be sorted, but they could not diagnose anything wrong.
Learned a lesson. Better always, if I can, to do it myself.
Anyway, as I started to replace my grounds with the new cables, when I got to the firewall to cylinder head connection, it was connected to the fire wall, but not to the cylinder head. It was just hanging there... Ticked me off that I paid for someone to look at my electrics and this wasn't found.
Replaced starter to frame ground, and the battery to body ground. Haven't had time yet for the + and long - cable install.
Even so, when I started up my truck, dang, it turned over beautifully - stronger than it ever has - and my bobbing gauge issue was all but cleared up. Hopefully over the long weekend, I'll get the last two cables installed.
So glad that I made this purchase. Thank you Fourrunner!
A happy Thanksgiving to all,
O.N.

Replied!!!
I've had my cable set for my '88 FJ62 for a few months now, so I guess it's finally time to sing the praises of Mark and his beautiful craftsmanship.
Cables are awesome. I was not expecting something so well-built, to be honest. I'm still installing, mostly because my process is piecemeal, what with twin 7 year old boys, home schooling, etc. So each day around 4pm, I go out for 15 minutes, work on what I can, email Mark my inane questions, he replies with what then seems like obvious answers, and I trod on. Overall, the installation is fairly straightforward, but with my novice knowledge of the 62, it's taking a bit longer. It's also hard to remember where I left off yesterday. :-D
Thanks again, Mark. Very much appreciated!

At long last, got all of my cables from @Fourrunner installed on my '62. It starts like a champ, and the "bouncing" that I was getting on my dash gauge is all but gone (I know it's not and accurate gauge, but the "bounce" sure was annoying). These cables made a night and day difference in my truck. Cannot recommend these enough and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you!

These things are beefy! I’m mid-install right now - only the positive run to the starter left to go. I’ll report back later after it’s it’s all done.
Gday mate how much for a FJ62 kit sent to Australia?
Any chance I could buy a kit for my 1988 FJ62?
