That’s the Euro required fog light if i’m not mistaken. The drywall screw topic is the aftermarket upgrade🤣

Nothing aside from that the headlights stopped working at some point since I bought it. Also, a prior owner tapped the headlight circuit for the cheap aftermarket LED trail lights, so they come on with the headlights. Annoyingly, the LEDs still work.

My guess is that a poorly done tap/ splice has come loose somewhere because both headlights are on separate 10 amp fuses, the fuses are good, and I don’t get battery (or any) voltage on my multimeter when I test any of the headlight contacts against frame ground.

No evidence of any mouse activity (a big problem for vehicles on our farm), but I’m bringing her into town for the mechanical work anyways, so we’ll get rodents out of the picture for now.

The headlights both have separate fuses, correct.
However, they both come from one leg of the fusible link. So if there's problems there you will lose power to both lights.
Not saying that's your problem if the circuit has been modified, but it's something to keep in mind.
I have no idea why they went to the trouble of having separate fuses, which does seem like a great idea, but when it comes from a single fusible link wire it kind of defeats the purpose.

I agree it doesn’t make too much sense.

In my case they tapped the wiring for the (still working) aftermarket LEDs into the headlight harnesses on both sides only 3 inches before it plugs into the back of the headlights, so think the problem is there.

The only thing I can’t explain is why both headlights stopped working in tandem.

Anyone have an idea of what this (inoperative) light is for? I don't see it on the parts diagrams that pull with my VIN. Is it a euro rear fog light? The lens/ drywall screw combo seems homemade.View attachment 4132362

Hello,

It is a homebrew rear fog light. It should be all red.

The rear fog light is a Europe-spec option. It may appear in the diagrams if you supply a Europe-specific VIN or model code.

Thanks, looks like 81210-60100 is the OEM replacement. The more I drive it and fix little things the more little things I’m noticing. It’s all minor trim and electrical stuff, the sort of stuff I was expecting to find when I bought it.

I’m trying to stay focused on big picture work at the beginning of this build, but have to fight off my obsessive compulsive traits and distractibility…
 
I’m waiting on parts for the mechanical work and electrical upgrades, so I have dug a little deeper into the cab/ body weirdness. The passenger door is keyed differently from the driver’s door and the ignition and I don’t have a key for it, so that door will need to come apart at some point.

Most of the clips for the window weatherstripping are broken, so a prior owner glued it on. That did not work well, new clips (68211-90K00) are on the way. The door boards also look to be partially glued together. We’ll see if I can salvage them. If not, it looks like new one are available overseas (67620-60221-E0 and 67610-60221-E0). Fortunately most of these clips seem to be available domestically.

Drivers door is missing a vapor barrier, so that’s (67831-60070) coming also.

The steering wheel is crumbling and tacky, old soft plastics and Australian heat don’t get along well. It looks like they’re still available new (45100-60190-E0), but not sure it’s worth the $200+ they want for it. Paracord wheel wrap may be happening shortly.
 
The driver's side door lock cylinder still works but is pretty beat up. It looks like someone took a screw driver to it at some point.

The replacement part number I found is 69051-60090 but it's discontinued. Has anyone had any luck sourcing replacement door lock cylinders?
 
Hi Matt, I know you can get a complete lock cylinder kit from Toyota. @WarDamnEagle has this part number in his build thread. I can also check to see if I still have mine as I replaced all of mine so I only had to deal with one key. Any locksmith should be able to re-key these from my understanding.

Cheers, James
 
Thanks James, I found the part number for the lock set (69005-6B493-C0) and also got to read a great build thread!

That's the best improvement you can make to an older vehicle....and one of the easiest assuming you can find the lock sets.

This^^ Plus, the part number you referenced is for the kit with the updated key blank if that’s a consideration. Hard to believe on a Ute there are 6 items that need the key!
 
Does anyone know who sold/ sells the extended side view mirrors I have on my rig? Mine are moving out of adjustment just from engine and road vibration, despite my tightening up the hardware.

They don't seem to be an OEM part but I have seen them on other Australian market 75s and 77s (1986 TOYOTA LANDCRUISER HJ75 - JFFD3986222 - JUST CARS - https://www.justcars.com.au/cars-for-sale/1986-toyota-landcruiser-hj75/JFFD3986222). I also saw them referenced in a post last year (70 series towing mirror.. what options is there? - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/70-series-towing-mirror-what-options-is-there.1353649/post-15786377) but I can't find anyone who is selling them.

I'm going to fully dissemble the mounting hardware to see if anything is worn and needs replacement, but hopefully there's a replacement option that doesn't leave two bolt holes in each of the doors.

They are the standard Australian spec mirrors fitted to cab chassis configurations of 75 and 79 series. Should be all standard Toyota parts. Toyota genuine mirrors are better than equivalent aftermarket ones.

The only strange thing I see is your badge on the door.

Thank you, I had originally thought they were OEM but then could only find a different mirror assembly (87910-90K00) when running my VIN on toyoDIY. Maybe that’s because I’m not searching an Australian parts supplier?
 
In case anyone else is searching for this in the future, they have a special Australian part number (OEA224) and seem to only be available from Toyota Australia.
 
That’s a good question about the lock set, I think the door tumblers and gas caps would work but I’m not sure if they made any changes to the tumbler and mounting on the steering column and glove box.
