Hey folks, I've got a travel trailer that weighs about 4500 lbs that I'd like to occasionally tow with my diesel swapped FJ60, but it kinda sucks because I don't have trailer lights or a brake controller on that rig.
Has anybody come up with a way to hook up a brake controller on one of these old beasts? Eventually I'd like to pull this trailer or perhaps a newer, lighter one from Tennessee to the Southwestern US. That's a long way to go, and I need it to go as problem free as possible.
I could probably figure out how to wire in lights and a universal controller, but it's always nice to see what others have done.
My other truck is a 2006 Tacoma with a V6, but it doesn't pull as well as my little 4bt, and gets horrible gas mileage. I can't really afford to get a bigger truck, so I'd like to find a way to work with what I have, although I'm aware lots of other trucks could do the same job with less effort.
Those other trucks are expensive, and what I have is paid for and mostly reliable.
