Hi,
There are small things in the old car that is dear to your heart that upset and sadden if it is broken or lost, but bring happiness if you replace it with the same original part.

This is one of the things that the above statement applies to 😍....
Hey all,
I have been a reader of MUD for many year. The information on here helped immensely with my restoration of my 40. This is my first time posting…. Hope I’m posting in the right area.
I have a new to me 1991 LJ78 with an electrical problem. I’m getting intermittent power to the dash...
Hoping someone might have some guidance for me. I did the 80 series electric antenna swap into my 62 today. Works like a beauty. From this thread:

About a month ago our radio and rear camera stopped working. I was going to try and get to it this winter but it wasn't a huge deal to us.
I started the GX 470 and was going to take some items to the dump from a house we are clearing out. I think I opened the backdoor twice while it was...
My HJ61 12HT has some questionable wiring done to it in the past, but has been very reliable until recently. I don't have a multimeter yet, so I haven't taken readings of anything, just getting advice.
In the past 2 months on road trips the voltmeter on the dash will sit steady at 24V (middle)...
Does anyone know what the what the electrical connection on the latch of the upper rear tailgate is for. I’ll post a pic later today for reference. Thanks
Check out this portable electric jack. It's around $100 bucks. Would you guys use this?

The last thing I want is an electrical fire so coming to the IH8MUD brain trust for thoughts.
There has been a few times after driving the battery seemed too low to efficiently engage (original) starter. I’ve kept a battery tender on the battery so it’s fully charged when needed. I recently...
Newb here, trying to sort out a recently acquired FJ80 from Japan. On the way from the port had a couple warning lights and the charge light next to the amp meter go on, then within 20 minutes the thing stalled out, wouldn't start unless a jump pack was on. Among other signs; radio wouldn't...
I'd considered this an option a while back and now someone is implementing it...

Now all I'd like to do is figure out how to do it for less than $400 (USD) a side for calipers. More and more cars have...
My first post in a 70s forum. 😁 I was visiting family in Ontario, Canada recently and spotted a dealer lot full of 70 series Landcruisers! I was intrigued. Turns out they are electric and used in the mines. Couldn’t find a thread about them and wondered if anyone was familiar?

I recently installed some awesome BMW 3 series powered seats in my FJ62. I rigged up a 555 timer as has been described here any other places to trick the computer in the seats into thinking they are connected to a BMW. (It’s really just an intermittent 5v pulse that keeps thr seat control from...
Just a give-back to the MUD peeps- I got a Redarc to clean up the dash & more (overkill) control:
What you get:
My PM is pretty chuck filled - so this is a ‘dibs’ situation by post.
Gimme postage $$ from 98273 & if you’re generous - 2 tacos & a horchata $$.

I have an electric power steering setup that came off my 1984 BJ42. It is marked as a direct fit for 1981 and newer trucks, but I imagine it could be easily adapted to earlier models with a little ingenuity. This one is for a LHD application.
It is a nice little kit. I drove the truck for a...
