towing lights
Need to wire up a towing light plug to the SJ, can i just piggy back the correct wires from the corresponding wires in the rear cluster or is that putting too much strain on fuses etc, should i relay everything instead?

Re: towing lights
you can just attach them straight on but solder them on properly
no scotch locks

Re: towing lights
yea scotch locks aren't the best, handy if its only a temporary measure.
if you want to do a proper job just do what the previous owner of my lwb did.
simply cut off the connector for the drivers side rear light on both the rear light
cluster and the vehicle loom to properly fuck it up, then wrap the loom for the tow bar around the chassis crossmember several times up to the rear light then simply twist all wires together and duct tap the joints for extra insulation. but earths aren't live so just leave these exposed.
proper job,
proper bell end.

Re: towing lights
haha Ive got a good one like that... instead of removing the towbar, mines previous owner decided to cut the end off the tow bar and hammer wood into the inside of it!

Re: towing lights
I've found a similar scenario, twisted together and duct tape, but on a 230v lead on a sewer pump, exposed to the weather, and little kids running around 
about the towing lights, just wire them in like a trailer plug, and have the plug at the front, or have it at the back so you can use it for trailers, and use a long flylead to get to the towing vehicle

It's not a question of how much you spend on your suzuki, but when your money will run out
