Thread: BJ73 Landcruiser

is it 24v? it could be a voltage converter maybe, cant see the pics that well off a phone

Yeah the truck is 24V

Also a heap or relays in that other pix by the looks. Maybe they are set up to run a trailer plug on 12v off that voltage converter? Have you got a towbar etc?

Yeah I didn't think all those relays and that rats nest looked particularly like something Mr Toyota would have put there

Have a towbar, haven't checked to see if any of that runs to the trailer socket

Turns out it is a voltage converter, hooked into the light circuits for the trailer plug, with very light gauge wire and extremely ghetto connections, with a hot wire from the battery routed in an exceptionally retarded route along the chassis. Better leave it in and not fry every trailer I hire. But might tidy up the wiring at some point.





Also I have a leak around my windscreen.

If you have a windscreen leek then you have rust in the windscreen frame as wel because moisture will sit betweent he seal and the metal.

I absolutely have rust in my windscreen frame.

I also have a leak around the windscreen and it is the usual problem, the windscreen surround has to be replaced. I've been looking for one for about 6 months but I always seem to be a bit late in the race ('sorry mate, its gone'). According to an interesting US website the windscreen problem is created by using the air conditioning unit which draws moisture into the frame and the moisture stays there and rusts out the steel. This scenario results in a new windscreen surround every 10 years. If you don't use the air conditioning the surround does not rust.

I'll bring it from Brisbane next week as oversized luggage if you want. Must be like a bike box size? Might save on shipping - no promise on reduced fee though!
PM me if you want me to.

Cheers for the offer - that'd be legendary - but it's not high on my priority list at the moment.

Well let me know when your sorted, as I'm back and forward to Oz (not just Brisbane) quite a bit. Might beable to help.

Cheers, will do.

Gimp strange question but who is the alien/ghost in your wing mirror on page eight?

I don't have a page eight, so I cannot provide any help
