I'm using a Ford starter relay on mine, I wired mine to the 2 large posts, has to be careful, the truck will start in any gear! If someone knows which cables to connect under the dash, let me know please.:hhmm:
Fixed! hat happened was that I burned the relay trying to start the truck when the Air Flow Meter went bad, I thought that the ignition switch was bad. It wasn't the switch, it was the relay. replaced the relay with an Ford OEM, and back to normal.
 
Installing a "You left your headlights on" warning buzzer.
3.49 from Radio Shack, 10 minutes to install.
Borrowed the idea from 60 series tech:Best mods for under $50.
Thanks, Dynosoar.

A buzzer's not really necessary on an 80, is it? My headlights shut themselves off when I take the key out of the ignition.

Guess it's just another one of those upgrades that the FZJ got over the FJ80...

:confused: Mine as well (shut off auto), never been an issue.
 
a set of pioneer speaker upgrades. $100 for the set front and rear doors. Fit behind the stock speaker grills, with a bit of modifications.
 
My '91 headlights don't turn themselves off.
Left them on in a well-lit parking lot a couple of months ago.

Pulled a hazard switch from scrapyard, pin 7, removed running boards and mud flaps, and still haven't spent a penny. I will spend first $100 on replacing blown speakers.
 
Added a LED equipped factory dome light to the rear hatch.
 
Replaced the festoon bulbs with LEDs on both interior lights, about $8 apiece.
 
this is a excellent thread.. keep it alive with more mods coming! :)
 
3 way ty for me 1st HIR bulbs ($70some) to replace crappy factory lamps, 2nd super bright led reverse lights also replacing crappy factory bulbs ($70), and 3rd $50 worth of primer and black paint to cover the flaking/coroded factory wheels (all 5).
 
For me it still has to be extending the fob distance. It cost me about $10 when all said and done. I can lock and unlock my doors from well over 100 feet away. At the time I did this mod my little :princess: was two and it really made my life so much easier.

I think about and thank (in my head) Ebag333 almost evertime I hit my fob! The reason this mod cost me any money is that I went to radio shack and bought a flat lead FM antenna...

White instrument panel

I love the look of the white face gauges. It's like driving a new truck. $25, the remaining $75 will end up in the gas tank
