Fusible Link Question

[cruiseroutfit]

Found a post from Kurt @cruiseroutfit who noted they are NLA as of Nov. 22. @OGBeno later confirmed the last ones at dealers had been snapped up.
Probably a good side business for someone who wants to rebuild / sell refurbished units.

Sad but true, they are gone globally.

Ultimate OEM 60 series parts still in stock

That absorber is NLA and Out of Production. There were two diff lengths: 40mm and 45mm. Both are gone, far as I can tell. Either pay to play the ebay from KSA price or make yur own. A piece of small vac hose worked fine, but there's probably a more appropriate material out there if you want...

For those wanting an OE level component that replaces the fusible link, uses modern/readily available fuses, and makes for a very reasonable installation, check this out. It offers an extra spot for expansion if you so choose. It doesn't come with a red/white label, but it gets the job done very well.

There are lots of fantastic products like this, but the community still lacks engineering rationale as to the proper sizing of the fuses you put in line.

This or the Bussmann or blue sea all are options, just need to get a consensus on sizing

They're called out on the EWD. Same fuse rating for the same circuit.

Do you have a link? The fusible link diagrams I have seen only show wire gauge

Thread revival and plug… I now offer a plug & play solution for moving beyond the OEM fusible link in an FJ60. Probably works for a lot of engine swaps too with little to no modification. Currently still working on the FJ62 variant.

With this kit I’m typically seeing folks have 0.5-1.0 higher voltage at idle - less (or no) headlight dimming & wiper slowing sitting at a stop light in other words. Upgraded & cleaned grounds help too of course, and a lot is dependent upon the state of any given trucks wiring with respect to how corroded it might be. Electrical can be complicated but this kit I have is easy.

What it is:

Littelfuse 3-pole IPX7/IPX9K sealed/waterproof fuse panel (rated for direct high pressure spray)

Littelfuse MIDI fuses (supported by Littelfuse’s lab testing, unlike untested Amazon junk)

Ancor marine grade 6awg main power cable (and optional alternator charging cable)

Connector snaps right into the factory wiring harness

Brand new Yazaki wiring (just like Toyota originally used on the FJ60)

Custom stainless steel bracket to attach the fuse panel into threaded holes in the body

Overland Metric plated JIS hardware

Everything is assembled. Install is bolting the bracket to the body, screwing the panel to the bracket, adding a ring terminal to your battery lead, and snapping a pair of connectors together. It takes maybe 15 minutes.

Let me know when you have the FJ62 version ready. Looks like a nice upgrade.

Will do! Should be getting a prototype of the bracket this week.
