What Did You Do with Your 80 This Weekend? (57 Viewers)

[sadovnik]

Got some parts ($131.81) from Impex. Order delays put me in the new tariff world. Looks like DHL is trying to profit off all this as well. View attachment 3983981View attachment 3983982View attachment 3983983

Actually, I am fairly confident they are losing money on that. Go hire a customs broker to import anything and you will see what I mean. I worked for Fedex and then UPS automating their customs brokerage systems. Trust me, they are losing money on it... at least for now. They will revisit that charge in a few months and bump it up to reflect their cost which will no doubt be higher.

It says on the item description that a 5/8 plywood subpanel is included

Okay, pretty thick, 3/8 should be enough though. I used the witsend QPM, no experience with the either of the other two although the delta appears to be very close. It was a pain to squeeze in there!

Delta took over a bunch of the wits end stuff. Pretty sure the qpm is one of them.

You mean it was a pain to squeeze the QPM into place?

Like someone mentioned, I believe the Delta one is the same as the Witsend

Yes, very tight. Had to take the backing board out to install it so you could allow it to flex.

I want to be out in the mountains but I am still stuck in Denver with electrical problems...I am completely at a loss. Does anyone have recommendations for a good shop that would be able to help? 1997 Collector's Edition. Everything was working fine and then it wasn't. SUPER frustrating.
thanks everyone

I have no experience with Denver shops but did some quick searches here on the forum from prior recommendations and these two came up, further research online shows them highly recommended from some Reddit users too - maybe worth a call to find out! Good luck getting back on the road - hope you can get it diagnosed and repaired soon!

Thanks!! This is the freakiest thing. Started with just the taillights, then the dash lights, tach, voltage guage and now the climate control...all fuses are good...super crazy!

Sounds like a connector is coming apart.

There is always SLEE but likely not easy just to stop in to get something worked on. If you don't mind going to Loveland, I have had good luck with these guys. The owner is a good guy and can likely get you in quick if needed. He always has loads of land cruisers in his lot. He might even be on here.

Just an update: I talked to Tim at Colorado Toyota Repair. Unfortunately, they are a couple of weeks out, but he spent nearly half an hour on the phone with me trying to figure some things out. We even went over the EWD together. All of that extra help and assistance is beyond what he had to do, so if anyone ever needs work on their Toyota, I would wholeheartedly recommend this shop. Now back to the 80 wiring to try to figure this out

You could call precision land cruisers Randy is great, or call Jonny at @Cruisers and Co he is more in line with the issue you are having.

What is happening with the cruiser?

I am not available to actually get eyes on it until at the shop until Monday but if you can describe what’s going on I may be able to point you in the right direction

call Jonny at @Cruisers and Co he is more in line with the issue you are having.

Thanks man!

Hey Jonny...thanks for the reply. I tried to call you at the shop but the mailbox was full. (it's kind of a long story) It started out with no dash lights, I checked the fuse, it was good. Noticed the taillight fuse was blown and it kept blowing fuses. Disconnected the 2 connectors (I think it's BQ1,BQ2) at the rear driver's side that goes to the lights and the trailer wiring harness, still blowing fuses (I started using a meter and it's getting 12v across the fuse block. Even disconnected ID1, IE2 and still getting 12v.

I am pretty much dying over here!! I will PM you. I am not far from you at all..at a friend's house in Federal Heights. Thanks!!!

I bet you have a short somewhere in your wiring where perhaps a live wire is exposed and touches the ground or something causing excessive current and blowing fuses. A multimeter will come in handy for this to track down your wiring issues..

you are 100% correct...the challenge is finding the short but I am working on it. I do have a multimeter. This challenge has really brought out the best in the people here..It's an amazing community and I thank you all. I will keep working on it.
