Cruise control went out on the 200 on my way up to Tennessee for Thanksgiving. I ordered a new switch and sent to my folks place and changed it while up there but didn't fix the issue. I ended up ordering a clock spring when I got home and that did the trick. If you run into an airbag malfunction or cruise control issue that maybe your issue. Its a quick and painless job and perfect opportunity to grease the telescoping steering column screws they were starting to squeak little to no grease left on them it was time.
Good video for pointers on separating the plug on the backside of the old ring you will need to keep it.

How many miles on your 200 Larry?
Here a link to my recap, which mod was helpful and which not, after 68`000miles of international overlanding
recap: Mods I wouldn`t do again for overlanding
After over 68350 miles of international overlanding (110`000km) with the rig showed above, done in the past 9 years it is definitively time for an analytic view. Which mod wouldnt we do again, which mod would we install on a newly buildup? From a Transafrica to journeys in Europe, Iceland, South...

They've been sitting on a shelf in the shop for 6 months last nights project was install the Tough Dog UCA's so I can order another set of BFG KO2's. Maxing out the factory UCA's still yielded me an alignment within specs and I got 55K on the current set of KO2's which I'm happy with it'll just give me a little extra adjustment room
Next to a clean 15/16 model in a traffic jam on 459 north of Birmingham today
The RAM mounts are nice I have one for the phone and one for my tablet I run for navigation. Actually navigating takes both but thats another story. The tablet mount struggles to keep the tablet up on the rough trails and roads so I bought some 10lb velcro and trimmed around the nav screen and the back case of the tablet. The tablet is near the size of the Nav screen and so far tests on bad areas of HWY 90 and its holding fine. Time will tell, if it doesn't hold maybe time to replace the system with that Tesla style tablet contolled system.

Larry, what was the RAM mount mounted to that it wasn’t holding the tablet up? I had one in the 80 with their double sided tape base on the center console next to the shifter and it held my iPad mini just fine for about 3 or 4 years and the tape finally gave. I bought another tape base and installed it but didn’t get to use it because I sold the rig. But I had no reason to believe that it wasn’t going to perform just as well.
Nice I do like the RAM mount products and I can see the 3M mount holding well. I also have the suction mount that works well but didn't like how it took away some of the visibility. I have two of their X-Grips one on the pillar for my phone and one for the tablet thats screwed into the dash (in the pic above) with a reinforced piece of aluminum behind the plastic to add as a solid backing. On pavement and HWY running they hold well but the tablet mount no matter how hard a tighten it down will start to walk down on the gravel washed out roads or trails. Hoping the velcro will do the trick and it'll free up the dash mount to hold the HAM radio
Merry Christmas to me, Land Cruiser parts

Nice! I had their dual cup holder in my 80 and loved it.
2 1/2 years ago during a cold snap several days in the 30's my air injection valves were stuck and it put the cruiser in limp mode. I had to clear the codes and ended up ordering the Hewitt Technologies Bypass kit (Part # Gen-II SAIS Bypass Kit) I thought the valves were done and I wasn't planning to replace them. While waiting for the kit the weather warmed up and one of the last resets the codes never came back thought the cold weather threw them for a loop and so I shelved the kit. Fast forward to last week with completely the opposite weather feels like a month of 100 degree days the valves are acting up again every two days throwing the codes and putting it in limp mode. Not the perfect time but tired of clearing the codes every two days I got out there last night and installed the bypass kit. The two videos below were a huge help watching them before I jump in. I had no issues on the wiring its pretty straight forward made me a platform to lay on top the motor to get to the back two air valve plugs but I didn't have any issues. I will say the worst part and most time consuming were the blockoff plates 200K plus miles they were seated pretty good. I cut a stake like he did and emptied the toolbox trying to free them loose even after presoaking them. The kit is very nice works perfect no valves spinning up at start up anymore and the system is all rainbows and unicorns again. Worth the money I'll report back if I have any failures.
Side note: I didn't leave any of the control units in I removed both units for Bank 1 and Bank 2 and just have the Hewitt module in the bracket.

I installed the Gen 1 kit in my Tundra about a month ago. And I haven't had any issues either ( besides 1 of the factory pipes broke at the flange and now leaks ) great product!
Hi, I am looking into buying the TD UCA, so would be great to hear your feedback on them.They've been sitting on a shelf in the shop for 6 months last nights project was install the Tough Dog UCA's so I can order another set of BFG KO2's. Maxing out the factory UCA's still yielded me an alignment within specs and I got 55K on the current set of KO2's which I'm happy with it'll just give me a little extra adjustment room
Very happy with them, greaseable upper ball joint, solid built units and plenty wiggle room on my alignment to keep it in spec. They've seen heavy testing and we make a yearly trip on the TAT thousands of miles of forest, gravel, dirt and trail use and they're holding up nicely. Definitely would buy them again. If there was another distributor in the US I'd buy their lift again. Trail Taylor is no longer carrying their products, I know its harder to get. I have about 90K on the TD lift and looking to replace it. Pulling heavy trailers the last couple years moving and building on our property added to the fatigue.
Thankyou for the feedback, my TD shocks are doing well after 4 years. I paired them with king springs.
