    Positions of inputs & load outputs along auto 12v wiring

    Looks you you have everything covered, but to comment on your drawings in the first post: (mainly in case someone with less experience reads this thread later). Whether the difference between the 4 options matter, depends on the cables sizes, plugs, switches and fuses used; as it takes very...

    ABS problem

    WhatYaMean Kick in, when not braking? Read the codes. Most problems with ABS and anti skid stem from bad signal from wheel sensors. Either rust on the sprockets or bad connector. Or very different wheel diameters.

    Leaking coolant from head gasket on 2004 Land Cruiser

    A 100-series cruiser is always worth repairing, it's just to find an affordable way to do it with a long lasting result. I suppose it's a V8 gas engine, which I don't know well. There is a reason for blowing the head gaskets, often because of a coolant leak somewhere. Don't now if those heads...

    Timbren Bump stops

    That sounds like a great idea you had there. Thanx for doing the research and testing. How far from the A arm is the new, taller bump stop when unloaded? 70 mm must be nearly twice as tall as the original one. Got any pics?

    Ball joint preferred brand, or just suck it up and buy the entire low arm from Toyota?

    "Must adhere to the knuckle" - I understand as being the press you use for pressing out the old joint - that the pipe used on the receiving side when removing old one has to press on the arm/knuckle and not on the joint. (I.e. inaccurate translation). I used a sturdy C-clamp to press out the...

    How to remove front sway bar?

    Yes, you must be right, forgot about the position of the TBs. But I can't remember there being a problem to remove it.

    How to remove front sway bar?

    After undoing the 4 "ends" of the sway bar, it just comes down. There is no need to pull it out at one end/side.

    What gearboxes are in the 100 series?

    The 2004 100-series would have a A750F box, not a 442. Don't know if the converter was the same tho'

    Got a new toy - new Techstream

    That one looks like a good, modern version. If we are lucky it also takes the older M-OBD protocol which we need for the HDJ00. In the description from the seller it says: "Specifications: Windows-based software for Toyota and Lexus vehicles Requires VIM to connect with vehicle "Legacy" module...

    My 2004 100 Series

    Pics of your rear plough? Dreaming of doing up my 100 with front and rear steel bars. First pick it apart completely to get rid of rust, and then put it together with only good parts, new pipes, etc. -- If I only had a place to do it.

    Fuel rail starting pressure!

    Could it be that the pressure sensor is at fault, not reporting the right pressure? (Looks like your pressure reading is from the scan tool only, in which case you haven't verified the actual pressure, and the ECM could be as fooled as you are)

    My 2004 100 Series

    Yes, that sounds normal. Did you look at the schematics? The earth connection goes through a few plugs, which have to be located and tested. But, to start off, you need to measure earth connection from the actual connection point on the relays to a known good earth, and the same from the rdl...

    My 2004 100 Series

    Check earth point at left rear quarter panel, and under front of RH front seat. That's where the relays in the control unit, and the RDL detect.switch take their earth from. Both the CDL and RDL lights get +12v from the same fuse, 7.5A MET. The RDL motor gets it's earth from "Set bolt of cowl...
