    HJ45 4 Door Truck Questions

    We're not, knew almost immediately as we walked up on it that this was rougher than the pics showed and not what we were looking for. For the asking price, I would have expected something a little more refined and a lot less of a project.

    HJ45 4 Door Truck Questions

    Went and checked it out. It's been sitting for a few years. I believe it's a ~73 or thereabouts, found a couple pages in a manual dated 73, and then jumped to 78 (which is what it was listed as on FB). Data tag showed HJ45 so guessing the 73 date in the manual make sense for it being a H series...

    HJ45 4 Door Truck Questions

    Going to look at a 1978 HJ45 truck tomorrow a few minutes from us that is for sale as a possible vehicle for my father (spare, not DD). Been 10 years since I had my last 40, and some alarm bells are going off with this thing as I try to do some research to figure out what it is. Guy is...

    How to install A/C in a 1st Gen Pickup/4Runner

    AC is now blowing ice cold as of last night. Will be curious on my way home from work today how it does in 95F+ temps. Ended up being the 4 o-rings on the bottom of the manifold ports on top of the compressor. OD was slightly smaller than the original R12 O-rings, not allowing it to make a...

    How to install A/C in a 1st Gen Pickup/4Runner

    Yes, pulled from the low and high side r12 ports Edit: So played around again with it for about 30 minutes. Swapped to a different fitting, seems to be holding pressure at the fitting. Looks like my leak is coming from the 2 manifold ports attached to the compressor so gives me a bit more...

    How to install A/C in a 1st Gen Pickup/4Runner

    Working on the R134 conversion to get my AC up and running again. New Compressor, condensor and drier. Pulled a vacuum on my system after swapping my orings and fittings over for R134. Was able to hold a vacuum for 45 minutes, took a can during charging and then no longer would accept any more...

    Help finding or cross reference Toyota 88320-27060 AC compressor

    I had some goofball Denso PN that didn't seem to exist, yotashop was able to sort me out a few weeks ago with one that was a direct replacement. Wasn't on their website, but made easy with a call over the phone

    Lower SAS 4runner - Front

    @aztoyman I've left it flexed out a few times but live in the land of flat so makes it hard to get them a natural workout outside of the bumpy bridge on the way to work... trip planned for Halloween in Moab so she should get to stretch her legs a bit. @gnob yes, rear shackle mount thru the...

    Lower SAS 4runner - Front

    Needing to replace my leaf spring bushings after a year (TG bushings are junk). While i'm in there, wanting to lower the vehicle a bit in the front. Currently ~2" high in the front over the rear. Front: 3" Standard TG Leaf pack (4x4 labs front bumper, future will have a 8274) Rear: 4"...

    Where did you go with your Mini Truck or 4Runner this week?

    No where exciting, but replaced my compressor, condenser, drier, etc in anticipation to recharging my system this upcoming weekend. Looking forward to having AC again. 95+ degree temps while sitting in traffic is a bit less than ideal for the last 2 years. Got my 4x innovation sliders installed...

    Recreating hard to find/expensive parts for 79-83 Pickups

    His communication is horrible. I messaged him and I think it took just over a year to get a response. I was planning to buy one when I finally got a response but got uninterested with the lack of communication over that timeframe and being $120 for a faceplate I didn't necessarily need. Guess I...

    How to install A/C in a 1st Gen Pickup/4Runner

    About to go down this rabbit hole to fix my ac. Anyone know the correct pn to buy on my compressor. Pn on back doesn’t match why I’m seeing should fit. Want to make sure it’s compatible to the bracket and wiring. 87 4Runner 22re Factory ac

    1982 pickup with Tacoma TRD rear axle?

    For the rear, it's really not difficult or challenging with basic skills using a grinder, drill and tap. You aren't messing w/ the gears at all unless you regear which it doesn't sound like you are. The hardest part to me was removing the inner axles, which isn't bad. The gasket does an...

    1982 pickup with Tacoma TRD rear axle?
