    Dual Battery System

    Hi Dave, thanks for getting back to me. I agree the Blue Sea products are 1st class, I've got my eye on a Blue Sea 7622 500 AMP Auto Charging Relay inc BS 2146 switch. A little pricey but found on sale just under $200. Have you looked at that? What Blue sea VSR did you buy? Also, can you send...

    Old Man Emu (OME) OEM make my vehicle?

    Seems like many members have added an Old Man Emu (OME) suspension system to their 80 series Land Cruiser. I am considering doing the same and have some questions: (1) If you don't put front and rear bullbars with winch in front do you still need to add the OEM for the stated benefits of just...

    Thanks Dave, I too am aware the shipping costs are prohibitive for oversea shipping but maybe if members share design plans with their over sea members.... they then might be able to make them in DIY project without having to to do all the design and trial and error work a prototype usually...

    tail gate storage.

    Looking real good! What niggles (as you said) to work out? It's probably cost prohibited to buy from you and ship to me (Seattle, WA) ? But could you pencil out a set of plans and mail to me so I can either fabricate myself or have it done? I can pay you for this..well deserved! So let me know...

    1994 80 series just now adding some more off road and camping upgrades.

    Thanks StarCruiser, do you know if these are brighter than just replacing both low and high beams with LED bulbs using existing lens housing? What are the advantages of angel eyes over just LED bulbs?

    Hi Again, planning on changing out the 1994 Toyota Land Cruiser halogen headlights both low and high beams with LED headlights. There are a number of manufacturers and dealers claiming theirs are the best and brightest. I would welcome advice on actual experience and which top brands that...

    Thank you StarCruiser. Small waterfall...you're right. I hope to travel this September and camp across US with excursions up into Canada and to see Niagara Falls...now that's a waterfall! Then on to see really good friends in Connecticut and back to Seattle.

    LED Tailights - Good idea?

    Although, I was just replacing the halogen bulb with LED bulb...looks like you replaced the entire unit. I will have to check that out to see if causes the same problem with the keyless entry and start function. Where did you get the LED tail light unit, price, brand and part number, if you...

    LED Tailights - Good idea?

    I tried adding them but they interfered with the new keyless and alarm system I just installed. It did not allow the auto start function to work at all. So back to halogen bulbs. I didn't think they looked much brighter than the halogen bulbs anyway.
