Fitted a Toyota auxiliary electric fan. All the fixtures are already there so it is more or less plug and play.

I installed mine with a switch in the cab so I have some control when off road.
This thing can move a serious amount of air.
It is indeed the fan designed for non-US 80 Series models. I got mine from Partsouq. This was was first time using them and the experience was pretty good.That's sweet. Where did you source the part? Is that the OEM fan that would normally come in 80s not sold in the US?
Hit big bend this weekend too. Left the 80 home though and took the 200. Love it down thereWell. We went down to Big Bend and had ourselves a good old fashioned adventure. Got caught in a huge storm 20 miles from pavement which brought big hail and flash floods. I put the Cruisers pass into the storm to minimize broken glass. We lost both tailights(where can I find those?), one mirror, and the hood took a beating. Teamed up with a couple other rigs and self rescued and rescued 2 guys that were on motorcycles that got bruised up by the hail. Pushed through some pretty rough spots of deep flooding nearly hood deep and we are on a Slee 6" with 35's. Jeep in front got pushed sideways at one point but our heavy Cruiser stayed planted. Survived all that to only have the right wheel studs sheer off at about 45 mph sending the wheel out into the desert which took a good hour to find. Tire took the flare off real quick. Tow Bill to nearest shop was huge. We learned a lot over 5 days. Some things we knew but forgot and somethings were new lessons. Gotta love getting out there! At least we have some stories to add to our list and it created some great family dynamics where we needed to work together and rely on each to get problems solved.View attachment 2245087View attachment 2245088View attachment 2245089View attachment 2245091
Those seats look like they were made for the 80. Where are the electric adjustment controls?Did a seat Swap with seats from a LR Discovery. Nice to have armrests, heated seats, and waaayyy more adjustment room.
Also installed my 270° Awning from Overland Pros.

I got my inspiration from a few other different posts on here. They are definitely one of my favorite mods to date. The comfort is such a huge improvement. My old cruiser seats were still in good shape but the LR seats are 10x better. I mounted the controls on the center console. The LR Discovery has them mounted on the console as well so it was an easy swap to do. I'll try to get some pictures of the controls in a bit. You can see the edge of the controls on the picture above just past the seat and under the blank switch slots/coin holders.Those seats look like they were made for the 80.

The armrests are fantastic as well. I can't believe I waited this long to do the swap.Those seats look like they were made for the 80. Where are the electric adjustment controls?
yeah more info would be great. You've done an awesome job on the install. Those look like I could drive all day in way more comfort than my old stock seats.I got my inspiration from a few other different posts on here. They are definitely one of my favorite mods to date.

My tow package was a magnet for every rock in AZ--I got rid of it pretty quickly--lot's of great aftermarket bumpers with hitches. Plus, you'll get rid of a lot of dead weight.
