That's what I am thinking too. Let's see how long this charge will last. Here in Canada I need AC only for the next 3-4 months, so if lasts that long it is enough. On the other hand, once I already added the UV dye and have the flashlight on hand I will take a look at it tonight and see if I...

After staring longer at the sight glass, I now believe I was seeing refrigerant and some small bubbles when I was tapping on it. I don't see how it could be anything else now... Good point on the initial pressure: When I connected the charging hose I saw around 10 psi and seeing that I added a...

Hi flintknapper, Thanks. Yes, you are correct. There was definitely fluid in the sight glass. What I don't understand is how I was getting no refrigerant escaping when I pressed the service valves (both of them)....unless I was not depressing them enough?....I guess so, it is the only...

Thanks white_lx and Spaber05! Your suggestions/comments guided me to the answer: I have no refrigerant left. Because I had no way to check pressures, I just used a small screwdriver to push the low pressure valve....empty!!! At least now I know I first need to find the leak and fix it, then...

Hi all, Reviving this tread to ask a related AC question. My compressor is not kicking in. Here is what I have done to troubleshoot: I checked the resistance and the mag-clutch operation and it is OK. Checked internal temp sensor and it is OK. Checked the 15amp AC fuse down by the driver side...

Interesting...I would change my 100 auto for a 105 5 speed in a heartbeat!

I envy all those high miles I see on Mud....I wish I had a longer commute and more time off work for longer trips....At my current rate, it will take me another 43 years to get 500K miles.... 75K at the moment on my 05.

Good point, thanks. I plan to use this RTT still for a long time, so it makes sense to protect those bars. Inside they have surface rust already, will coat them next spring before RTT goes back on the LX.

Thanks Patineto...yes, That's the Thule square bars I am talking about and not the Yakima round bars...brain fart I guess. Corrected the post but cannot edit the title...

Hi all, Just thought I would post this as an idea if anyone is in the same situation. I had a Maggiolina RTT installed on my 02 4Runner using Thule square bars and home made towers (nothing I could find off the shelf that would allow me to clear my old garage door). When I got the 100, I wanted...

I run Nokian Hakappelitta 8 SUV Sudded on Tundra steel 18" wheels. 275/65/18, just one size up from the original 275/60/18. Nothing fancy, does the job really well up here where I am.

I am interested too. Please send me a PM. Thanks

I think we should call this The Macmann mod, agreed?

Don't remember what I was looking for but found the site below. No mention HVAC controls but the unit looks nice and we get to keep the temp/clock display which gives a more OEM look to dash. Their website looks very similar to the one Macmann is dealing with. Interesting....until a week ago we...
