Got another one. I’m looking for a new complete wiring harness for my 40. ‘72 frame/body with a 2F. 4 on the floor. Any good source for this?

It sounds like a good opportunity to put a wanted ad in the classified section.
I think @Coolerman still made them, but I believe there’s a waiting list.
Generic FJ40 harness build:
1. harness layout dimensions with differences for the 2F alternator location, add-on circuits, deletes, H4 headlight relay, etc., plus wire-gauge-sizes and color identity (I think electrical tape in different colors makes for an okay wire secondary color-id)
2. special connectors considered, or alternatives
3. assembly tools, quality components, and methods and skills
4. parts, such as fuseblock and flashers, fusible link
If you study a schematic from '75 on, it is really clear how the various circuits should be routed thru the loom. The alternator charge cable goes straight to the ignition switch, and then fuseblock, with three different switched-circuits. Just about everything branches from here. The battery positive wire uses a fusible link, and then a length of wire to the ammeter, and then it tees-in to the alternator charge cable.
