Where did you order the 24V from? I'm slowly losing dash lights one-by-one, so getting them replaced is moving up in priority..
What did you do on your 70 series today? (13 Viewers)

I got them from Japanese yahoo store using buyee proxy service. It was easy but if you prefer to use megazip, they have them all too.
I know partsouq does not carry all of them. Didn’t check amayama.

"Overlanding is Sh*t"
I just bought a few 1hz oil filters from a US toyota dealer. Black Friday sale brought them to ~$25 shipped. Not a huge discount but something.
Hello,
Parts from Thailand are as good as parts from Japan. Use them with confidence.
Ask me how I know.
Nevertheless, a stash of Japanese parts is a nice thing to have. Nostalgia...

I see toyota followed your lead on putting a 2.8 in a 70 series. Hats off to the innovative, influencer troopy driver that you are! You got em beat though- yours is a manual!
Maybe some of you know this already but the Tacti Drive Joy V9111-2003 were made by Denso in Japan as well. Around the same time the 90915-30002 went to Thailand, so did the V9111-2003.
Side by side comparison of the Japanese made filters:

Tested the NOS vacuum switches I got online.
Though the original black and white colors are reversed, they plug right in and have the correct functions.
Also received a ratcheting brake line wrench.
The thickness of the wrench (about 1 cm) means it will contact a larger area on a flare nut.

Installed a new faceplate for the clinometer binnacle on the dash. The decal was drawn up by @SnowVersion who was able to match the original font and colors used for the altimeter and thermometer and have it printed on a vinyl sticker. Looks great with the Auber gauge and matches the rest of the dash perfectly. There was a minimum order of 4 stickers, so this first one I used as a test on an old piece of plexiglass. The next one I will trim out the sticker in the thermometer window since the sticker is a little cloudy.
So now, I want to start searching for a binnacle for my gauges so I can have you make up a custom overlay... nicely done.
There is a hole in the metal dash with a rubber grommet that the wires can pass through. I used a hot nail to melt a couple of new holes for the extra wiring to pass through.
Makes sense to me now. I had to get creative with what I have now because I don’t have that specific hole. Thank you.

Hmmm, which one of these fit in the climate control panel for a 24v truck?

Thank you!
I had some LEDs for the instrument panel and installed those today, other than maybe a little more bright white than I typically like, I am pleased with the outcome.
Now it is time to address the climate controls and adding a small LED for ambient lighting so I can see my cupholders etc. down by the shifters.
