I am here
I used mine to mock up and test a new starter kill switch kit I will have on the site for pre orders sometime in the next 10 days or so. The best part is that it requires no wires to be cut. Easy to install and easy to remove.
I suspect this will work on a myriad of Toyota's but have yet to confirm that. It does work perfectly in the FZJ80's.
This kit will include everything needed to install a starter kill switch WITHOUT cutting any wires. 50amp relay, marine wiring, basic on/off switch, etc. Once installed you will have the ability to disable the starter by the simple flip of a switch. The kit requires disconnecting the starter solenoid wire, connecting our kit, mounting the relay, and using the included fuse tap for an 'ignition on' power source. After that, just mount the switch at your favorite hidden location. I also give enough length in the switch wiring that you can mount the switch just about anywhere within reach of the driver. I would have pictures of it installed in my rig, but I am not going to share that detail
More to come.

Okay, maybe you already covered this but one of the issues with the 80 series is that there is no starter relay, leading many to retrofit one. Could this kit be made to perform this function and have the interrupter as a side benefit (or is this already the idea)?
Leads many to add one? I’ve never heard of anyone doing that. Besides there has to be one already. All that current isn’t going through the dash to the key.
bought this HDJ81, 1HDT with an auto, needs some little things but should be a good one for a little while

In priority/usage order... busy Saturday...
Cleaned the battery posts and clamps on my jeep that younger son is commuting in after a no-start that was just an oxidised battery clamp that stranded him at work for a few hours.
Then replaced line pressure solenoid on the saturn that he 'was' commuting in that had failed when he was at work. At least the valve body is super easy to access on the saturn from above.
He started working at tesla a few weeks ago (new mech eng grad). We're not sure if parking near tesla is good for our vehicles
And finally, the 80 got some love. New delta 3 arms installed to get caster back to something reasonable after the new dual rate dobs were installed several weeks ago.
cheers,
george.

Thank you for posting this. This is only my second week owning a LC and didn’t know this was a thing. I’ll check mine first thing in the morning!
Starting this today.

Didn’t think they’d be Depo so I’m stoked!
Are they pressure cracks? How’s the barrel.. might be time for some new metal lol
Thankfully no, I thought so for a moment as well. Streaks of dirty oil/grease from the missing cap after driving it home. Just pulled it out of the garage so the steaks are facing up now.
Drive flanges on the other hand, need a serious refresh.

Unfortunately it is a fairly recent swap. The Cruiser runs good, drives alright and has lots of power. It obviously needs some love where corners were cut. We already flipped the front driveline and checked for clearance issues. The swap had no charcoal, tank line in engine bay was vented to atmosphere and the result was major gas stink in the Cruiser. We fixed that by installing a charcoal canister. Drivers door window was in-op, we fixed it by a tear down and clean plus greased.
It’s a nice Cruiser, built by a so-called Cruiser shop. This was an expensive swap. It’s a shame they didn’t fit the truck accessories which give better clearance. We will get it worked out, we are definitely not starting over.
Cheers
