I've been getting this question more frequently as the cost of LED headlights has come down out of the stratosphere. They are now just a little more expensive than the best Halogen headlights, and so there is a lot more interest in them. Before you whip out your credit card, there are a couple...
I have been making headlight harnesses for FJ62s, FJ60s and FJ40s as well as Auxiliary Relay Panels for some time now based on the Bussmann fuse/relay module. I am just a few units away from shipping number 600. I have sold a lot of Auxiliary Relay Panels to a wide variety of...
Red Rattler posed a dash lights question that reminded me of a quirk that our dash lights have. The rheostat that dims the dash lights is on the ground side of the lights. The rest of the automotive universe has the rheostat on the 12 volt side of the circuit. What this means is that any...
I'm just about ready to start building headlight harnesses again. Some of you asked to be put on a waiting list for when I got back into it. Sad to say, I had a computer event and my waiting list was a casualty. So, If you would like either a headlight harness (FJ62, FJ60, FJ40) or an...
I have received many emails and PMs since I posted that I had to suspend harness building operations. It appears a number of you would like to take a crack at building one of these and would like information about where to get components. I have not had time to respond to all of you. I apologize...
Can someone tell me if the headlight circuits in FJ40s and FJ55s are the same and if not how they differ? Or, better yet, any diagrams floating around for FJ55 headlight wiring?
So I emailed the fine folks in Australia as to the current price of the McNamara Gear. $350 + $80 shipping. :eek: No dealer in America. I thought about calling Toyota for the price of the transmission output shaft, but then realized that the inside of the gear in the transfer case that...

Last year, I installed a new OME suspension under my 1988 FJ62. I was prepared to do battle getting the old suspension off, but had no issues. Did not have to apply any heat, and there is no rust on the parts I took off. Been cleaning my garage today and came across the box with all the left...
Can anyone articulate the difference between the A440? that Toyota mated to the 12HT and the A440F that Toyota mated to the 3FE gasser? Can the A440F that came mated to the 3FE be made to work with the 12HT?
Relays are a funny beast. Their origins go way back to the early days of electricity. By the time the transistor ushered in the semiconductor age, relays were antique technology. The funny thing is, nothing truly better that does the same thing as relays for the price has come along. As a...
With all the great engine swaps that can be done (V-8, diesel, etc) I have been mulling over my options. I really like the Isuzu diesel and have been leaning that direction. So I decided to check with my local emissions control people to see what the regulations are in this regard. There are...
I'm appealing to those of you that have Canadian HJ60s. I need a pic of the headlight diagram from your FSM. I have searched and searched and have not found an HJ60 diagram for the 24 volt system with the 12 volt headlights. All the HJ60 diagrams I have found are for straight 24 volt systems...
I'm trying to design a headlight harness for a 24 volt landcruiser with 12 volt headlights. From what I am told, Toyota accomplished this with centertapping between the batteries. So, does anyone have a diagram of this phenomenon that they can email to me? I need the parts of the diagram that...
In my opinion, Cibie headlights are about as good as it gets for headlights for an FJ62. But they are no longer available new. The best I have found at this point are Hella ECE H1 and H4 headlights. The H4 has a nice sharp vertical cutoff nearly as good as the Cibie and the beam intensity is...
Can one of you Canadian cruiserheads post up the electrical diagram of your HJ61? If you can take a pic of just the headlight diagram and the battery connect scheme that would be good.
Anyone in the Salt Lake City, Utah area have an A440F transmission they want to get rid of? I'm looking for one for free or really cheap. I want to tear it down and teach myself how to rebuild it before I tackle the one in my FJ62. Really cheap means under $100.
