Boy, is that ever some ironic projection.
Post 142 reads like Norm MacDonald's Professor of Logic joke, but unfunny.

Damn, this sure went sideways. 
Mine just had its 30th birthday. It is still running the original links.
Same here although mine is a couple of years behind yours
This talk of shortages, are fusible links the new toilet paper ?
I find it fascinating that I have a comprehension problem because I didn’t realize that you were referencing a non Toyota 80 series when stating that you had experienced many failures with fusible links.
I don’t think I’m alone in that, here in the 80 series forum, unless it’s stated that you are referencing another vehicle it is assumed you are referencing your 80 series Toyota.
Knowing at anytime you could be referencing any and all manufacturers of vehicles kind of undermines the value of your claimed experiences.
Best of luck with your recovery.

First of let me say thank you for your comment wishing me luck with my recovery, that is appreciated and taken as it is wrote, recovery had been going well until yesterday's news but hey s*** happens.
Back to our discussion. You have to read, digest and then reply. Earlier in the thread I pointed out that customers with their 80's come to me (or other garages) to get the FL's replaced.
And when there were other manufacturers mentioned 'newer more modern vehicles' using fixed fuses on top of the battery instead of FL's, well it is true my friend.
I also note you keep harping on about my experience, I have told you of mine, and you have not mentioned yours....not that it is my business, but I use it to back up statements I have made, this stops people thinking I am talking out of my arse as many do.
The other thing I do, (perhaps sadly) is to write out paragraphs of information, not simple 'one liners', my method ensures that people get where I am going within a discussion or even an argument to explain fact. I don't see this discussion going anywhere, with your inability to answer and explain what you have against getting rid of the FL's and fitting a fuse box instead is somewhat disappointing, but I think I may have covered that a little later?
I will not block you as I have read on occasion's your posts and they have some content for many to consider, but they are skewed towards the modifications department, this I totally get, you sell products that address problems that someone has found with lifted suspension and so forth, something I was addressing back in the early 70's, strangely enough I used an idea that I used when suspension modifications were limited when racing Ford Anglia's.....yes I am that old but, it sorted a problem on a Toyota 40 a couple of years back....now who would have thought that, and the cost...well a cup of tea and lunch.
So, if you have nothing further to add to bolster your adverse comments about my fuse box being used to replace the FL's (which you have not), I say that just in case you were thinking about selling new FL's which in no way would happen, because if you did then your entire argument falls flat on it's face as does anyone else who thinks they are fine 'as is', so I reckon anything that could be said has been.
In closing, I again thank you for your kind words with regards to my recovery, a thoughtful gesture to say the very least.
Regards
Dave
Even though there hundreds of thousands of 80 series out there with FIs with no issues
You need to modify them, just ask Dave and he will tell you you comprehension skills are not up to date.
That if you modify you brakes you will kill a bus load of nuns.
And if you don’t carry enough tools to work on every Rig on the trail your a bad person that doesn’t return the stool to it spot when your done with it.
Cheers

My experience with fusible links is that they are not likely to fail unless there is a fault in the electrical system. I’ve seen that once with someone else’s truck on a trail run. He had a bad engine harness.
Your experience is that they have failed on many trucks but not yours. But that wasn’t clear to me initially and you didn’t seem to like that I asked you about it.
I can’t remember saying anything against you modifying your fuse box. But if you would be so kind to quote my passages where I did I would appreciate that.

I popped my fusible link a few years back when making a right turn.
The fusible link was original and didn't appear to be in the best shape. I thought it was old and replaced it with a new one. Not 100ft from the house, it popped as well. A friend drug it home and I started my investigation.
I created a blade fuse jumper since I couldn't afford to replace the fusible link each time it popped.
Luckily, I spotted a spark from the engine harness and found my problem.
I patched the wiring, reinstalled a new fusible link, and ordered a spare from Toyota. I keep the jumper wire with me just in case.
