FJ62 OEM-compatible tail light connectors for trailer wiring source?

[jebb]

I don't really want to hack into the factory harness if I can avoid it, so I'd like to make up a little connector that I can plug into the green plug and the harness on one end, and the other end of the green plug and the drivers side taillight on the other end, where I can splice in the wires to hook up to a curt 3-2 box. That way reversing it is just unplugging it and putting everything back the way it was at the factory.

Does anyone know if there's somewhere you can buy these connectors? Maybe somebody with a 3d printer whos making pigtails? Or just the plastic bits and you make your own pigtails?

(I'm open to other ideas here, I just hate cutting into the factory harness when I can avoid it).

I should have all of these plugs. I think someone is actually makinga trailer harness though - although I may be mixing that up with 80 series

There is definitely a plug and play trailer harness out there. I have one. Haven’t installed it yet. But I can’t remember who the vendor was. It’ll come to me eventually.

Unfortunately I no longer offer the trailer light harness

I have no idea if anyone else has posted this or found this before, but I wanted to share.

The Hopkins 43315 ($25 from amazon, $40 from autozone) wiring kit for 1984-95 Toyota pickups and 1995-2004 Tacomas can be modified ever so slightly to work with a 60-series land cruiser. The plugs fit the LC, but the wires are in the wrong locations. Taking out the wires from the plugs isn't too hard and requires about 15 minutes of time. I used a long straight pick to lift the catches to removed the blades and receivers from the connectors. Then you need to replug in the wires into the correct...

This is the way.

If it read zero, I wouldn’t keep topping it up from the parts-store can. At that point I’d want gauges and a vacuum pump so you can see if it actually holds vacuum, then charge it properly instead of guessing from the little trigger gauge.

This kit is the sort of thing I’d buy for occasional home use: Orion Motor Tech A/C vacuum pump and manifold kit on Amazon. It’s not fancy shop equipment, but it’ll pay for itself pretty quickly if you’re willing to do the work. Just don’t use refrigerant with stop leak in it. That stuff can make a simple leak hunt turn into a much more annoying repair.

I found one on AMZN but you have to cut into the rear light wiring. It gives me both 4 plug and 5 plug trailer hook-ups. For the round modern plugs you have to purchase a separate converter that plugs into the 5 plug.

with The Hopkins 43315, you shouldn't have to cut into any original wires. You will need to de-pin and swap two wires from the plug. I also shortened the Hopkins harness and routed int inside my rear qtr. panel to keep it out of the weather. Definitely read the thread posted above a couple of times and read the links in it too. I wired mine to a USCAR (OEM toyota truck style) 7 way harness and installed a 4/7 plug in my bumper. This added a little more thought but was still pretty straight forward. Any splices I made were into the hopkins harness and not into my stock wiring.
