On earlier model vehicles, one possible location is one sensor on the driver’s side head at the rear inlet side where there is a bolt into the head casting. This is ideal if you are using a EG01-1 single semsor system, or if you are using a EG01-2 dual sensor system with one sensor on the head and the second on the transmission.
The easier option on later engines: If installing without removing the intercooler, use the rear inner tappet cover bolts on one or both cylinder heads if you are using an EG01-2 dual sensor system. We have had customers (including fleet mechanics…) report that the rear tappet cover bolt locations provide good fast response to temp changes, but if you are aiming for the optimal temp response see pics at the bottom.
The following sensor locations require removing the intercooler. The pics were sent to us by a mechanic who installed a system on his 200 series Landcruiser (plus a mates car). The 79 series is similar. This was an ENGINE GUARD EG01-2 system with a sensor on both cylinder heads.

These are similar to the 200 series:
