@Wompom Visibility out was fine, the angle was OK (you can't fit 3 gauges and the OEM handle with any different angles very easily). The cost from the Australian supplier was steep (around $140) and it was tight.
Not really worried about it, that power inverted has already been bouncing around the back of the car for 33k miles in South America. The solar controller has been about the same. I’ll go through and tighten bolts/wires every year or so. None of it is super important if it fails, I’ll still be...

I believe it was a 0/1 awg wire. We ran it 6 yrs ago, previously I had a Xantrex 1800w inverter, but decided it was too big for what I needed. I think we started with 18 ft or so of cable and trimmed some ft off, as needed.
I ran the same 1000w inverter, in the same location, on a...
Installed some electrical goodies in the #80series last week. Used @wits.end #quarterpanelmount to hold a 1000w sine wave inverter, 8in powered subwoofer, CTEK solar controller, and fuse block. Paired the sub with a new Sony headunit thats does Apple CarPlay or Android integration. We are pretty...
amounts are only my portion. The below amounts are oversimplifying a complex process of payments, insurance, middlemen, & delays

Remember it's spelled Colombia and Brasil. What's your route? I can put you in touch with the Land Cruiser club in Bolivia if you need any repairs or help there. What's the shipping quote out of Paraguay, or leaving the car there? We shipped into Montevideo and enjoyed it there.

I've recently spent over one year and 45,000+ miles in Central & South American countries, I was never robbed, nor ever paid a bribe. First, I believe you are over thinking it and generally you...
I used a A343 body from Wholesale Auto. It was WAY too firm (i.e. No slip between 1-2 into gear especially in 4lo), but it did reduce trans temps, based on my trans gauge. I ended up going back to stock.
I do have a New Extreme Valve body for an A340E/F for sale. Rodney's Wholesale Automatics...
Real time help needed, sorry to bring up old thread, and I've read the whole thing, but I have slightly different situation.
I'm currently in southern Chile with a 1995 Landcruiser, it has a 1995 Dodge 47RH transmission and 1993 Cummins 4BT diesel. It has a Mean Green Starter installed 12k ago...
I have a lightly used Gobi stealth rack (with sunroof insert) in Phoenix, AZ available for sale for an 80. Probably one of the most sturdy designs. Not great for RTTs though. Probably would be willing to drive it within a few hours of AZ if anyone wants to take a look at it.
Jackson,
Nice photo of the plate, I may borrow it.

Paul,
I am having a similar transmission or torque converter issue with my supercharged 97 LX450. It is shuddering in reverse over 2k RPM. I swapped out my trans valve body to no avail. I also have a stutter while driving at 2100 RPM and 2/3's engine load. What research did you come up...
