98 Land Cruiser Rear Differential Wire Harness

[Kgraham1026]

Hi all, Newbie here. I’ve only been a proud owner of my 100 series for just under 2 years now. I had a hole in my exhaust that has melted the rear differential wiring harness. I’ve searched the forum and was lucky enough to find the part number (82164-37671), but it seems to be discontinued. Does anyone have a suggestion for how to find one of these? Or is there an alternative option to fix this problem? Thanks in advance!

I tried to remove a locker harness from a junkyard truck and gave up. I used a Trailgear aftermarket harness. I would repair your existing harness (no matter how badly melted). No fun, but do-able, and you'll sharpen your soldering and heat-shrink tubing (with grease inside) skills.

These make the soldering exponentially easier.
