There are times to be pedantic. This isn't one.

Black/yellow - 12VDC switched from key in START. Black/white - 12VDC switched from ignition relay. The ignition relay coil is energized by the key in ON.

Another great share, Alan. I caught a glimpse of the link to the article on Facebook, but I didn't have the time to click on it then. I know there are plenty of us who appreciate the chance to understand what was different in other markets and why. Thank you @JDMjunkies.ch for making the time to write the article.

That reminds me of a joke. What do you call someone who speaks two languages? Bilingual What do you call someone who speaks several languages? Polygot What do you call someone who speaks one language? American

@HS30-H Alan, I wasn't looking for diplomacy. I prefer accurate. I've been reading your posts long enough that as I read through the link, I thought there was something fishy about it. The first thing was that the pricing didn't seem to fit what I recalled hearing about the 432 or 432-R market.

A friend sent me a link to this 432 for sale. https://www.beforward.jp/nissan/fairlady-z/bx082542/id/10304275/ I would appreciate @kats and @HS30-H commenting on this one. I'm surprised at how few photos and most of poor quality for a 432. Does it look like a legitimate 432? Is this where the market is on 432s now?

MAPP gas isn't MAPP gas anymore. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAPP_gas#:~:text=MAPP%20gas%20was%20widely%20regarded,America%20that%20still%20manufactured%20it.) My induction heater works nicely, especially in a tight spot.

Thanks for sharing that, Alan. It brightened up my morning.

It's good to see it when someone joins the forum and start off with a joke.

I think Auxito labels some as fog lights even though they work as headlights. The one I used in the past is NLA, so I was guessing on the new part number. The one you listed will probably work, too.

That would be my first guess, too. It's been so long since I got rid of the 73 bumpers that I don't recall the exact differences in construction between it an the earlier style bumper that were needed to accommodate the sturdier bumper mounts.

@Mike The Koitos do show up. They actually have a Toyota part number: 81110-60P70 because they are sold as a conversion kit for the Land Cruiser. They come with a relay kit and H4 halogen bulbs. I tossed the relay kit and halogen bulbs, and it was still cheaper than getting some Hella H4 housings. If you do a Google search on the part number, you should be able to find them.

I have QuickJacks, too. They aren't as fast as ramps, but they can raise all four corners. They came in handy when I needed to replace a bad transmission and replace suspension bushings. You need wall space to store them. I mounted a 2x6 board to about 3 or 4 studs and mounted the hangers on the 2x6. When I got mine, one of the pistons was faulty (not uncommon), but they sent a replacement that I received a week later.

What I liked about the Race Ramps over the Rhino Ramps is that it is easier for me to get under the car. If you're skinny & don't have a lowered car/air dam, Rhino Ramps are fine. The Harbor Freight version of Rhino Ramps will be on sale April 7-14 for about $45. The 7-10th are for Inside Track members. https://www.harborfreight.com/6500-lb-capacity-portable-ramp-set-2-piece-63956.html
