Cool pic, first time I have seen an actual pic of the bung ring and hole for the main float switch.

The pump on that bracket will work, but I'd use the lower mile pump if it were me, which I would bet would be the one on your truck. :)
 
Anyone have a good shot of the main mounting bracket for the transfer pump assembly, the long on on the solenoid side. I purchased one from 4x4 Japan but I cannot for the life of me figure out how it mounts the the truck.
 
I can't find pic after final install, but here it is right after I installed my pump/solenoid assembly. This is looking in from the driver's rear; you can see the brake proportioning arm in the lower right.

Yeah I get the general idea but the bracket I have doesn't seem to fit right. It looks like this one, the long bracket in the top of the picture.

I did not have to disassemble to mount this.
 
The picture of the transfer pump in post #85 is incomplete. There should be a big plate that the solenoid bracket mounts to. I know many people make it work with what is pictured above but they normally only recieve that portion of the transfer assy because it is a PITA to pull the entire assy at the wreckers. With that said, I had the complete transfer/solenoid assy and had to remove the main tank fill tube to mount the entire assy. Below is the only picture I have of what I am talking about. It is taken from under the passenger side backseat looking up and back at the truck. You can see the solenoid assy in the upper right hand corner and you can follow the bracket with solid fuel line from lower left hand corner up and over the frame to the transfer assy. Hope this helps even a little ;)

Yes I agree the bracket was cut or something. Mine is longer. I think your picture will help me figure it out. Thanks
 
Thank you Jim!!!

I wanted to say many thanks, shout out to JIM!!! Without him this project is almost impossible. After 4 months the project is almost done. The only thing we have to do is wire up the compass. We bought everything new from Japan :( bad move ....... I will take some pictures after she is clean up.

Anyone had any luck with the compass install, Please let me know. We had a wire harness from the compass to the display unit and it still doesn't work. jpimportz@yahoo.com. Any folks in here from Australia? Thank you in advance.

Not to sound dumb, but do you have the magnetic field sensor that is mounted inside?

I believe it needs to be mounted on a magnetically-shielded bracket or something crazy like that! (The last I checked with Toyota it was already discontinued).
 
Someone mention about the bracket and such. To my knowledge the customer didn't have any of that. Just sensor and the plastic cover. Maybe there is more to it then just plug it in? I've search for documents but didn't turn up with anything. Thanks

cruiserdan has done the retrofit on his FZJ and said that it was pain in the butt to get it installed and would not do it again. :D

G'luck!
 
Tell me about it. Everything is done on this truck .. Except the compass. Do you have Dan's contact? Thank you

Just look up "cruiserdan" here on Mud.

He's "THE MAN" when it comes to LC parts guy.
He's a vendor here and he is with American Toyota in NM.

There "might" be someone else who has done the mod, as I've seen someone offering the overhead console with the senseor mounting bracket a couple of years ago. Another possibility might be to get a used one from a junk yard/wrecker...

Good luck!!
