THE EAGLE HAS LANDED.
Nate is not impressed.
The plug I am holding is the vaunted right rear door power window switch. Now the real question, is what powers the left rear door switches? I will look into that this weekend.
Long time no talk, build thread. Can we still be friends?
Lots of stuff has happened this summer. But today a friend in Canada took delivery of the floor wiring harness that I literally couldn’t find in about 15 other places around the world. So stoked.
In small parts news, I found these on ye olde eBay. I need to see if there is a suitable connector in the harness. Otherwise I need to find a suitable pigtail to wire it in.
Also, this big boy arrived. UFI21L.
I need to send some injectors off to be rebuilt to +30, unless someone out there in MUDland has a set and wants a set of stock 65,000km FTE injectors.

I learned a hot trick from Fernando; if you split the factory butyl sealant with a razor blade, you don’t make a giant mess and you can still put it back in place.

So, a little bit of progress. The wiring harness that came with the truck had seen better days. I obtained a new one from a single cab HZJ79 and I can definitely say that the new style cowl harness is much more cumbersome and complicated than the old metal dash style. I cleaned up the a/c...
@Andrew S - update time!
The cigarette lighter (power outlet) arrived, and plugged right into the USB charger wires. In the next couple of weeks, I should be pulling the dash apart to put in my new harness. We will see if the dash harness has the proper connectors for this charger. It better!
Andrew, there is an OEM part and I have not been able to track it down. It seems to be a dealer only item in Australia, and I just could not find one, even with friends on the ground there.
I used this one from eBay...
A little thing, but I love these OEM cup holders with USB chargers, and a friend in Australia shopped me one. It didn’t have electrical parts so I am tracking them down. eBay provided the USB chargers. I need a cigarette lighter charger now…unless I just leave a bare cap.
