Got a photo of the end of the cable?

Looks like a 78410-90K00 cable needs a 78411-60030 knob. That's probably your problem.
This is actually a hand throttle, not a choke cable.
Thank you Dan! Good catch! I just double checked toydiy.com where I pulled my part numbers from. I have no idea how I f$&ked that up! Off to order the correct knob. Cheers!
Edit: of course the correct knob seems to be discontinued

Could you open up that hole in the knob and make it work? I believe both knobs work the same way... with the end of the cable having a retainer that snaps into that rectangular hollow in the knob's base.Thank you Dan! Good catch!

The symbol is nearly identical... with the throttle knob having the "lock".
Good idea. Thats what I'm going to try since it appears the correct knob is no longer available. It does have the same feature as the other knob to recceive the retainer in the cable end.
Hello,
One more year of ownership.
And this year it was time for maintenance as well.
Brake pads and shoes are good for another 5000 km. Engine oil prices have almost doubled in my neck of the woods, but I am thankful it is available: I read about the Rotella scarcity and it got me concerned.
Front axle seals are still good for another 5000 km as well. No Birfield soup yet. I am kind of looking forward to that rite of passage.
A poser shot on the way home. Enjoying afternoon light.

Bit late to the party but on the Australia thing, we are really struggling to keep up with the supply issues. Our economy is really strong right now and people are spending money. For instance the 79 is sold out until 2024.
Finally got my factory 70 series rims in yesterday after lots of weather delays. Toyota part 42601-60262-03 I am excited to get some rubber mounted to them and get them on the truck. The tires/mounting are a birthday gift from my fiancé so I need to wait till that day comes in on June 5th. I am thinking the kzj78 is going to look perfect with the 235 85 16 tires I picked out.
it had a lot more packaging when it arrived. It was raining when I loaded them in the truck. so when put in the shed so I upacked them mostly and left some cardboard for them to sit on so they did not sit damp. I will say it could have used more because one of the rims has a pretty bad scuff.. oh well.

Makes sense. It would have surprised me if Toyota shipped them packaged with just the cardboard pictured.
A tip: The Sharpie "silver metallic" marker works wonders for touching up those wheels easily. It is about as close you can get to the paint code but not perfect.
Thanks for that tip! I am an art teacher and actually have lots of those so its perfect haha!
Here is a photo of the ones I have. They are not easily found in brick-n-mortar stores but easily online.
Oh, they do. All the Japanese-sourced steel wheels have that stylish but useless cardboard hat and nothing else.
Arrogant me. I apparently successfully messed it up.Now that everything is approved to work, I can take it apart again
... to make sure it doesn't work only now, but for the long run...
I started The Knuckle Job.
LH side came nicely apart this evening.
What a mess.
Tomorrow is cleaning and then reassembling.
The ugly thing on the early BJ7x is: You need to undo the brakeline to remove the caliper and brake backing plate.
There is a joint way thingy riveted (!) to the back of the brake backing plate where the flex line connects to a short hardline again, which connects to the caliper.
I undid the short hardline in that joint way first and removed the caliper. Only to note later in the process that I had to undo the flex line from the hardline on the axle in order to remove the backing plate. Two good chances for the old flared tube ends to f* leak.
And yes: The joint on the hardline across the axle to the flex line (47314-60160) failed on me. Can't get it sealing any more.
What a stupid construction.Wheeling next weekend: Canceled
I likely need a new hardline from the distributer above the diff along the axle to the knuckle: 47314-60160, which of course is discontinued, as well as 47314-60161 for the later models up ton1990.
Neither partsouq nor amayama nor euro4x4 has any of the two.
Am I screwd now?
I'm that pissed... Don't even dare to start the knuckle job on the RH side...
Three questions now :
Is there a trick how to seal or fix a leaking flared brakeline joint?
Does anyone know of a replacement for that hardline across the axle?
Anyone a proven conept how to improve that stupid construction?
I need help, guys. Thank you for any suggestions.

No bueno.
For what its worth mine were packed pretty well for what it is I feel like. But I also got them from Toyotaparts.net and they shipped them to me.
Windshields, wheels, etc. When it comes to Toyota to customer through a dealer or online storefront...they don't seem to care as much. Maybe it is the fault of SET, GST, etc.
Tier two supplier to Tier one supplier within the Toyota system is a different story though when it comes to packaging. Same for tier one to Toyota as well.
