best not to use the DRL relays but to use a Hella relay that provides a ground (from the Accessory Elec box under the hood) to the headlight relay wiring under the dash. That way you're using the stock wiring set up and not a semi-reliable DRL relay.
You only need DRLs if the truck is a 1990 model year or later.

i just bought a bosch relay for 8 bucks. Plan on wiring it in tomorrow. I will post it up too. I wouldn't pay 40 dollars for one of those pieces of crap.
Hey Simon, I saw your build thread on your HZJ77. Nice truck. I think if i was ever going to part with the 81 i would get a HZJ77.
But the con rod bolts will be arriving tomorrow morning. We already have the ACL bearing from sheldon @ G & S Cruisers and we got the bolts from John @ Rocky Mountain Imports.
Were changing the BEBS and Bolts on both the HDJ81 and HZJ73
should have the pan off on sat for the HDJ81
Your going to have a lot of fun with your 81. I wish I got one sooner, I didn't know what I was missing. That's sweet you got the full meal deal with the factory lockers and winch, well done. Did you find that you saved a bit of money doing the shipping yourself, than going through an importer. Also did you have any troubles finding exactly what you were looking for? I would love to get another one someday with a 5spd, and the other goodies.
Enjoy.
Enjoy.
I'd be interested in hearing your driving impressions of the hz73 compared to the BJ70. In the 70 series forum, I guess. More pics
I want a Cruiser collection... Who has two thumbs and is jealous? This guy...

i will take some more shots of the trucks tomorrow
I posted up the hzj73s driving results to the 70. The 70 has 4.11 gears from a 60 in it. the 73 has the 4.11s stock. The hz has alot more torque and power. I was told he might have to remove a resonator to get more power. In the 70 i can drive and be at cruising no problem in 3rd going 50kms with the 73 i had to put it into 4th for 50. i think that resonator is the problem. he needs a new muffler on it anywaythe 70 will be for sale in a bit

I have taken it out for a little bit of fun. She climbs anything that i have put in front of her with ease. The rear diff lock is gummed up and won't engage and i need to take it appart and clean it up this weekend. Overall i am highly impressed with this truck. I can't wait to test the rear difflock
sorry for the lack of variety there, it was windy as s*** on the mountain
Bottom end bearings this weekend Clean up the diff lock, and i think i need to change a universal joint.

Very nice truck. 
JDM Landcruisers are one more reason why I might be looking for a job up North when I finish my degree. Good luck with the sticky diff lock!

good idea, we got lots of jdm cars and free healthcare too
Yeah, don't get me started. Student health insurance here specifically excluded what I needed treated for. I had to get married to get treated for what my doc said I was liable to die from, bless my new wife.
It was about time, as we'd been together long enough -- a decade. Took the honeymoon to ride the entire length of the Algoma Central, so you can tell we like seeing some Canadian wilderness
When
hear's about the better mileage the diesels get, she'll be most happy. BTW, she's fluent in Japanese. Maybe we'll start our own JDM import biz
