  • How to Clean Weldnuts for Installing a Hitch on a 2006 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • Dirty or corroded weldnuts can be an issue for hitch installs. What you will want to do is check out the help links I attached that detail how to clean them so that you can install that last bolt to secure your hitch. I can't safely recommend you only install 5 of the 6 required bolts to install the hitch part # 75095 that you referenced regardless of what you plan to tow.

  • Are Tow Hooks Removed When Installing Draw-Tite Hitch # 41015 On 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • You will not need to remove the spare tire when installing the Draw-Tite Class III 2 Inch Hitch # 41015 on your 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser. You will need to remove the tow hooks when you install the hitch, but you will reinstall the tow hooks on the vehicle. When you reinstall the tow hooks you will switch the location of the tow hooks. The passenger side tow hook will go on the drivers side and the drivers side tow hook will go on the passenger side. I am sending a link to the installation...

  • Parts Needed to Install an Electric Brake Controller on Two Vehicles for Towing a Camper Trailer
  • Yes, you can set up both of your vehicles for towing trailers with electric brakes. The only requirement is that you have a 12 volt constant power source for the brake controller you choose, and that you have a brake light signal that has 12 volt power only when the brake pedal is pressed. The Prodigy P2, # 90885 brake controller, would make a great choice for moving from one vehicle to the other, with the addition of a second mounting pocket, # 7686 and a second plug-in harness, # 20127....

  • Is There An Adapter To Install Redarc Tow-Pro Elite On 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller part # RED44FR is an excellent option for a 2020 Toyota Land Cruiser. That said, there is no adapter for the Land Cruiser so you simply need to splice into the wires for installation. If you don't want to do any splicing we do have a wireless option in the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180.

  • Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller on a 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser with Tow Package
  • In order to install a brake controller and 7-Way trailer connector on your 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser, there are a couple of parts you will need. First, you will need a brake controller. The Tekonsha P2, # 90885, that you have referenced is a good choice. It is a popular model because it is easy to use and works well. Since you already have a 4-way flat trailer connector, the only other parts you will need are the 4- and 7-Way Installation Kit, # ETBC7, and a circuit tester like # PTW2993....

  • Tips for Finding Brake Light Circuit of 1997 Toyota Land Cruiser for Brake Controller Install
  • Since we don't have a way to let you know which of the wires on your brake pedal switch is the cold side we can only really help by offering a universal stoplight switch like the part # RM-751000 or a circuit tester with a hook end for probing wires like the # PTW2993 which makes testing hard to get to circuits much easier.

  • Can Thule WingBar Edge Legs Only Be Left on a 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • The Thule WingBar Edge system (parts linked below) that you have on your 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser is meant to come off of your roof as a complete system - there isn't a way to simply remove the crossbar part and leave the legs on. I'm attaching an installation video of this same type of setup on a 2015 Toyota 4Runner for you to see what I'm talking about. Really the only time you can leave part of the roof rack installed is if you have a Jeep or truck topper with specific fit kits that...

  • Where Does a Brake Controller Plug Into on a 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • The factory brake controller harness on the 2014 Toyota Land Cruiser will be located underneath and left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. It is possible that the harness is tucked up above the emergency brake pedal or behind the kick panel left of the pedal. If may only be present if the vehicle came with a factory 7-Way trailer connector. For a brake controller I recommend the P2, # 90885, because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable....

  • Where To Mount Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TTOFTUN4 on 2005 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • The Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTOFTUN4, mounts where your factory bump stops are mounted. To install part # TTOFTUN4, you will have to remove the factory bump stops and replace with the Timbren System. To remove the factory bump stops, it may be a good idea to use penetrating oil if you have a hard time getting the bump stops loose. I have linked instructions for the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTOFTUN4.

  • Troubleshooting Blank Screen of Prodigy P3 Brake Controller
  • Sounds like it has an internal problem and needs to be replaced. I wish there was a breaker to reset or fuse to replace but it sounds fried. You might try it again just to make sure the connectors are seating properly but otherwise it would be time for a new P3 part # 90195.

  • Can Locking Anti-Rattle Hitch Pins be Keyed Alike
  • Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # 63232 does not have a keyed alike option. If you ordered 2 they may or may not take the same key. None of the anti-rattle hitch locks can be keyed alike but what you could do is use two of hitch lock # e98880, select the keyed alike option, and then use separate anti-rattle devices such as # GY88XR. The great thing about this anti-rattle device is that once you put it in the right place on your ball mount or other accessory and tighten the set...

  • How To Install a Timbren Axle-Less 5,200-lbs System on Aluminum Framed Travel Trailer
  • You can absolutely use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle w/ Brake Flange - 5,200 lbs # TASR5200S03 on your 2013 Livin Lite Camper with an aluminum frame, but you'll need to put some sort of buffer between the Timbren system and the frameto prevent galvanic corrosion. Your best bet is going to be putting a thin rubber pad between the steel mount and the aluminum I-beam. The powder coat on the steel should keep the two dissimilar metals from galvanic corrosion,...

  • Does Secondary Ground Wire on Tekonsha 3040-P Need to Be Grounded to Vehicle
  • Tekonsha determined that the brake controllers work more reliably in Toyota Trucks if the secondary ground wire is grounded to a factory grounding point or the chassis under the vehicle dash, so for the most reliable performance, I'd recommend grounding that secondary wire.

  • How To Install a Trailer Brake Controller in a 2004 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • To activate the brakes of your trailer while towing your 2004 Land Cruiser you will need two additional components. You will need a brake controller and a brake controller install harness. For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. Now to wire this brake controller your vehicle with a factory 7-way you will need the install harness part # 3040-P....

  • Location of Brake Controller Connector in 2010 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • According to my representative at Tekonsha, Toyota always places the brake controller connector above and to the left of the emergency brake pedal as shown in the photo I edited for you. Sometimes the connector can be found behind the kick panel to the left of the emergency brake pedal. Keep in mind that the connector will only be present if your Land Cruiser is equipped with the factory installed 7-way trailer connector. Otherwise, the controller will need to be hardwired using our Brake...

  • Could Charge Circuit of Trailer Breakaway Kit Be Ran from Running Light Circuit instead
  • There doesn't need to be a breaker between the positive and negative wires of the switch of the Curt Breakaway Kit part # C52040. It would be possible to use a running light circuit to run to the charge wire of this kit and there would be a light charge that would occur but the problem is that the running light circuit typically only carries a fraction of the amperage compared to the 12 volt accessory circuit with this being partially due to the much lower gauge wire used for this circuit....

  • Does 10 Gauge Wire Run From Controller Back to 7-Way
  • The blue wire of the Tekonsha Primus IQ brake controller # TK90160 does get run to output circuit of the 7-way at the rear of vehicle using 10 gauge wire like # 10-1-1. It does not route then back to the battery using that same circuit. The black wire of the brake controller does need to run to the positive post of the vehicle battery to power the controller. If your trailer needs a 12 volt accessory circuit like for a battery charge circuit then the 1:00 of the 7-way would need a 10 gauge...
