eBay Wiring Harness

[pipaguapique]

I truly don't think my wiring harness is salvageable. My rig came from South America and it's a bloody mess!
Does anyone have any experience with these harnesses available on eBay? This seller in particular has a bunch of parts that look legit. The harness looks great too.

Thx!

I have not done business with this vendor. I have not seen a Toyota FJ/BJ40 harness with plastic split loom like that, maybe the later ones did. Also it may be a good bit different from what you need since it is a diesel harness, is your truck a BJ?

For that much $$, I would get a generic aftermarket harness and use that. I wired up a '65 FJ45 (admittedly pretty simple) with an aftermarket harness and fuse block, and it worked great. And, it wasn't the Painless brand, it was a well-made harness that was about $150 and came with temperature-rated wire and all wires were labeled on the wire itself. I had to lengthen the taillight section to reach the rear end of this pickup, but all else was easy.

Not sure either. PO changed the engine to a Diesel. I'm pretty sure it had a 12V 2F originally.
There's some crazy wiring going on at the moment. I think the cluster and perhaps other things are 12V, because there's a lead coming from the first battery and there's some fuses on it.

No not all 40 series diesels were 24 volts. Canadian and possible parts of Europe were. Australia Toyota's biggest market for the 40 series were 12 volt diesels.
