i used the same fuse panel in the 42 i am building ... simple.

The 12V air compressor was basically "hot wired" to one battery with an inline fuse.
It has now been wired into the converter with a secondary fuse.

I suspect you are right and I will contact the local shops next week.

no fawkin way, go with factory. much nicer, looks proper ...

 

[Gun Runner 5]

Is the factory model available in North America?

 

[crushers]

Akella4X4 or any one of your parts suppliers can get the parts you need.
some assembly required

and here is a comparison between the two ...

Parts won't be available for US Toyota parts departments.

I've got an Air Con from Australia I will give you along the precut upper fender if you'll trade me your upper fender with no holes in it. The snorkel fits the air box as is.
Please consider this offer and let me know.
Thanks

If your dog could talk he would be telling you to leave him at home next time.

no, he is saying "damn boy, i can drive better than you"

story behind the pic.
i am out with a buddy who lives in the area and we are crossing over the river. i see a section i want to cross and i ask him "how deep is that area?"
oh, pretty deep.
"how deep?"
oh, pretty deep

i think to myself that it can't be THAT deep or he would warn me.
i head across and suddenly the hood and my side of the windscreen is under water (as in, i am looking UNDER the water). i pop it into reverse and try and back up. i get the hood mostly out before the gravel base gives way and i am stuck.

so i asked him again after i was tugged out "how deep is it?"
"oh, about 6 feet" was his answer ...

Unfortunately most guys can't measure to the disappointment of most women.
I see the dog was smart enough to sit on the dry side. You should post photos of the
recovery.

when traction finally broke loose...

Cruiser looks like he is saying "i got this" or "you bloody fool"

i got a tug from my diesel Mitsubishi jeep J54 that i had at the time

head light deep in the water

Actually looks like fun however the only river near me averages 40'-60' in depth and my friends would just stand on the bank and laugh while they opened another beer.
