Dangernoodle you are the man! All the info you posted in one place too is awesome. I spent many countless hours to get all the info you posted. I am installing vintage air right now. I only work on my rig in the winter months so you guys are getting me fired up. Good job!
Painless wiring has a instruction manual for wiring up a land cruiser. I used a fuse box mount from BTB. Things get kind of weird with the hazard switch and turn signals. Lots of people on mud have been down this road before! Search out the info. If I can do it you can. Looking at what you...

When TJ saw my FJ45. He told me about a relative with a Landcruiser that took him to some cool places. He mentioned the Diesel engine swap too. I read your posts and just realized you bought it new. I have lived across the street from TJ for over 8 years. I am lucky to have good neighbors. When...
