The Mule / 73’ with a past?

Sure no problem!

Yes it is Toyota branded electrical tape. So wild!

Lots of love being given to my truck lately!

My solution to my oddball bolt pattern was to just make a nice functional
unit that works with my bolt pattern. Not the quickest, nor the easiest route but I like it.

The great thing about those lights is no shielding! So you get blinded by the light...

I guess if you are using it you are in a jam and need to. It’s fun collecting all the paraphernalia though!

i can't believe i missed this when you posted this photo Todd , i hope im not loosing my TEq EDGE ?


do you have any idea the significance of the particular TECH. Photo below ?


this is the biggest game changing moment for the 73 NON-USA Optional DARK-PEWTER trim package option FJ55 MULE ,

since you became @tucker74 's Jr. Block-Captain asst. Moderator ...

im not giving you your Keys to the DARK-PEWTER kingdom so easily either , your gonna have to TECH.-Work for them here .....

Are you referring to the plug with the jumpers? I assumed it was hazards being bypassed. But didn’t research it to much because I was focused on the heater install.

Can’t say enough good things about @ToyotaMatt and his detail thinking and putting items that fall to the side and aren’t discussed. This fuse panel insulator is sure to make some differences in the electrical system of your truck.

I took my panel completely out and DUSTED ever so slightly with AE grade ballotini bead. This is how I was able
To get the polished look on my terminals. If you don’t speak that language or don’t understand find a local that does. Putting it in your “glass bead” cabinet and just hitting it will surely ruin it with large mesh abrasive. You will profile the terminals therefore make a huge resistance problem.
I shot it at 15 psi too btw. You can see the tiny left over remnants of my original insulator. Also, you can see how dirty and corroded my fuse panel in general was.

Here is the going back together look. I’ve noticed odd indications I had corrosion issues. After replacing all my cluster gauges with NOS units and swapping all the sensors with NOS and new replacements I still had intermittent full peg readings on the temp and the fuel. This was my starting point.
After I sorted out the panel I installed the proper amperage colored just like factory fuses (also supplied by @ToyotaMatt ) and took a pocket screwdriver and packed the electrical connectors with dialectic grease. Reinstalled and you can see how the insulator is actually needed and making a barrier between the backs of the fuse panel terminal bars and the dash.

Awesome!!
