I installed a Rostra Cruise Control in a Land Cruiser 78, Troopy, 2001 model with manual transmission. The procedure will be quite similar for type 60 and 80 cruisers, as well as all cars except the electrical connections.
It might seem a bit out of place with Cruise Control on a Land Cruiser. But when you do overlanding, there is often a lot of Autobahn or motorway before you are where you want to be. Thanks to very good Touring seats in my car, the only place I get a pain after days on the road is the right leg. And this is because the accelerator foot is kept motionless for hours and days. So when we decided to go to Mongolia, Cruise Control got high on the wish list. In southern Russia, and especially Kazakhstan, there are endless straight stretches through savanna and desert landscape.
