    Converting air conditioner from R12 to R134a?

    I have been using Envirosafe Industrial 134A for at least 5 years in 3 vehicles that had R12 originally. I love the stuff. You can top off your R12 system (no need to evacuate). No need to change fittings, and no need to change type of oil. Excellent cooling too. However, if you do change...

    My 1970 FJ-40 Burned

    I was sitting in my Cruiser letting it idle to warm it up. Long story, but I apparently had a fuel leak that ignited. The engine compartment is burned. All the wiring and everything rubber and plastic under the hood is gone. Damage inside the cab does not seem all that bad. The dash pad is...

    Ambulance door prop open solutions?

    Open your rear door and jam an appropriate sized piece of rubber between the door and the floor at the corner. Never done it, but should work.

    How much does YOUR 40 weigh? Just got mine off the scales...

    Here is a picture. Not sure why the front and rear weights don't add up to the total. But, I did not go to a certified scale....just the city dump scales.

    How much does YOUR 40 weigh? Just got mine off the scales...

    I weighed the FJ-40 with everything loaded as I intend to use it on the trail. That is, the hard top was on, I was carrying spare gas, water, and tools, and I was sitting in the driver seat (I weigh 200 pounds). The front axle weighed 2380 pounds, and the rear axle weighed 2660 pounds. Although...

    Saginaw steering issue

    If you hear a whine (as opposed to a belt screeching), that describes a pump problem. Pumps whine when they are low on fluid. Is it possible you ran it low on fluid and you now have air in the box and system? Good luck.
