    80 series carpet options

    I did the heavy-backed carpet. It took forever to get it cut and fitting right but I think it is worth it. The factory is in Oxford, AL. As of late 2023 they were selling direct but you had to go there in-person.

    A/C system - how to remove the cooling unit, evaporator, expansion valve

    Don’t know the motive but I’m sure I saved a pile doing it myself.

    A/C system - how to remove the cooling unit, evaporator, expansion valve

    I will tag in as well. I just did this last weekend. My A/C was down hard and I took it to a specialist. They said the whole system was toast and were not excited about touching it “We’ll have to take the whole dash out.” No you don’t. I followed this thread and a couple of YouTube videos and...

    35" beadlock questions

    I am getting some 35s on my 2002 100. I do some decent wheeling on rocks 3-4 times each year; was looking at beadlock options. I would like options other than Tundra wheels. I like stock wheels whenever possible. I have not seen where anyone has ever sent off stock 16" or 18" LC wheels to OMF to...

    1993 80 Series Restoration

    Good luck to you bro. I just spent the last year doing the same on a 1994. If you have lots of patience and lots of $$$ you’ll be fine. In your last picture above there is a little green wire going across. Mine has that too. If you find out what that is I’d love to know.

    Complete A/C system replacement?

    OK thanks. Based on what I know, the whole system is contaminated and blocked somewhere. From what I have read on here it is imperative to get all the contamination out and keep it clean until it can be sealed up and charged. If I replace these components and keep them sealed with tape or plugs...

    Complete A/C system replacement?

    I understand about the evaporator and expansion valve. I'm just trying to save some money. They are A/C specialists, not land cruiser specialists.

    Complete A/C system replacement?

    Without going into specifics, my A/C is shot, and it must be assumed all components will need to be replaced. A shop has quoted me too large an amount to do the work. They are being cooperative but I think they are a little intimidated by the evaporator ("looks like we will have to take the dash...

    Heated seat wiring question?

    Tagging into this thread. I am about to get my seats recovered. I am going to get them to put some heat elements in and wire them later. Has anyone tried these Dormans? Dorman Universal Kit Probably the same as Amazon but at least there is a recognizable brand name attached.

    RTH - locked keys in cruiser, battery dead, no access to spare

    TBH that’s how AAA did it. But the guy had special tools and had some experience.

    RTH - locked keys in cruiser, battery dead, no access to spare

    Second on AAA. Won’t help right now if you don’t have it, but it is worth it. I dropped the third-party contract roadside assistance that my insurance carrier had because they sucked so bad and picked up AAA. I was locked out of my house recently. AAA comes out to my driveway, unlocks the...
