At first the instructions seem daunting(there is a download on the webpage) but after studying it it is installed starting with the vacuum servo.Then as you follow the instructions each item is dealt with separately.
toyota tacoma cruise control I've got the perfect position for the servo behind the n/s h/lamp with the cable curving round the back of the engine. I might have to extend the vacuum pipe using some brake tubing but otherwise it is straightforward.
The (bulky)control switch is stuck on a small aluminium plate which I bolted to a switch toyota tacoma cruise control blank on the right hand side just below the vent(08 car)and a second hole in the blank was drilled to allow the wiring to run behind the dash.
can you not wire it up to the brake light switch or the brake pedal i rather put it on the brake pedal cos you dont alway put the clutch down when slowing down i think it would be much safer that way also manufactuers systems work that way
Presumably, as it isn't an auto, when the speed starts to drop uphill, you change down, and the switch stops the engine racing when you press the clutch, then it can resume the set speed as normal when you release the clutch.
Probably no good for me unfortunately, toyota tacoma cruise control i'd be lucky to reach 60 with my 33s. Why? the standard Jimny is best around 50/55 and this is the speed I drive at. As a truck driver this is also the speeds trucks do. This is the reason I want the cruise control.

No the clutch/brake switch toyota tacoma cruise control disengages the cruise control you just change as normal.
If you have to change down when you get back into top gear you just press resume and it brings you back to your previous set speed or press set and it it sets the current speed. This is how my truck works and I find on motorways/dual carriageways I rarely have to change out of top(assuming it's quiet and no very steep hills or roundabouts)
