Rear bumper could double up as an air tank for OBA.

OEM fog lights for the Toyota Aussie outback cop bumper.

True, Cruiser has onboard air though with a compressor under the hood.

Switchpro controls are going in dash to the left of the steering wheel.

Switchpro will control the winch, Baja Designs bumper lights, air compressor and I am drawing a blank atm on the other two items. Seven circuits used in it though out of the eight.

Fog lights and driving lights are controlled by the headlight switch on 2009+ 70-series. Subtank transfer pump is on an OEM subtank switch.

Auber EGT gauge is going in dash below HVAC controls.

This is going to sound like a stupid question but do all arb bumpers come with a spot to attach an antenna to.

Not sure but this is not the ARB 70 series bumper.

I need to purchase a radio from Australia. I have been unable to find a single source that would ship overseas and it is apparently not available in the United States. If anyone in Aus could help me out please reach out.

 

[jomelo]

Radio secured. Some good folks on Mud.

I generally prefer the old skinny nose trucks... but those hoods make me envy all of you wide-nose 70-series folks something awful!

I would have to agree with you, besides... the skinny nose would be WAY more aerodynamic affording at least an additional .1 MPG over the wider nose land cruisers...

Ok I need to see about sending you the license plate.

A couple of videos.

Not shown is back up lights and front fog lights. Waiting on a fog light wiring harness to finish the front fogs. Got a new headlight switch at the end of today that triggers both front and rear fog lights. True to the GCC spec!




Subtank operation. Not a big fan of how complex Toyota builds subtanks. We plumbed the transfer into the main tank filler neck. We also wired it on the OEM switch and it illuminates the cluster correctly when turned on. We also got it working correctly on sending unit and gauge as well as wired in an auto shut off when main tank is full. Transfer pump seen earlier in the thread is a 6BT high flow lift pump of good quality.



I really like the gauge cluster on these 79’s, 2009+. They have all the standard old school and common indicators but they also got these super cool front & rear fogs indicators and things like the green 4wd light or subtank light. No “idiot” lights here, full indicators and cluster.
