There should be special, not-so-nice place for some POs. The only thing missing is some residential/commercial wire nuts.
That's all part of your fusible link/battery connection. I'll see it I can dig up an 81 ewd.
Got this off of Coolerman's site. Apparently, Trollhole was forced to shut down all of the manuals that he graciously hosted online.

Is that engine/wiring harness original to that truck? I don't think it agrees with the parts shown on Coolerman's site, but I'm not personally familiar with post-78 40s. They somewhat agree with the parts shown for 82-83.

At one time Toyota's lawyers were threatening to sue anyone who uses Land Toyota in their products. The repos of the stamped bezel made of fiberglass and reproduction tailgate with Toyota stamped into it. For a while after Toyota discontinued the tailgate only used or reproduction minus Toyota were available. Seems now it literature they no longer have available for vehicles that no longer really support.
I always wonder why is Toyota so much different than Ford, GM and Mopar. So much of the early Land Cruiser information is what has been pieced together like a company that closed long gone. At least if their were gone nobody would be putting a stop to publicly sharing information.

Yeah, I have no idea what the PO did, looking at the fusible link I have, it lines up with an 82-83 style, but my rig is registered as an 81. Go figure. Either way, I have what I have. I'm going to email Coolerman about rebuilding it for me.
Thanks!
Why not contact Toyota and get the rights to reproduce ? I have seen bezels, tailgates, floor mats etc.. already with the logo.

As long as it runs, right? Lot's of PO wiring shenanigans in mine, but getting through most of it. This is really the last head scratcher, but I think I have it figured out. Either need to have Coolerman rebuild mine, or find some wire connectors and wire and be done.
Thanks for the input, and if you figure out what that connector is supposed to be for, let me know!
Cheers!

Ha! I have this as well in the same state. I was thinking something about factory AC or
perhaps smog equip. Taped mine off and labelled mystery.

You’re right Dave, that 2 pin plug would connect to an A/C pressure switch just under the battery tray if you had factory A/C ( was pre-wired for this).
The twin fuses occurred in '79 and later 2F. It acts as a shunt, allowing a tiny bit of voltage/current differential to register on the ammeter. It eliminated having all the current for the truck going through the amp gauge like the older systems did, and substituted a more sensitive meter which reacts to smaller inputs.

So, I didnt hear from Coolerman, and given my impatience in getting this done so I can fire up the cruiser this weekend after 10 years, I pulled apart the old plugs for the fusible link, took out the wires and rebuilt. All the electrical items seem to work at this point, we'll see how it goes this weekend! Everyone have a great holiday weekend.
Cheers!
