    More PFFT PFFT PFFT - the sub this time. Options?

    Refoam it. That will take away the bad noises and actually make the whole system sound better. Simply speakers has the kits. Disconnecting works, but about 50% of the time to refoam. Easy DIY. Crutchfield has detailed speaker removal instructions. Good luck, Dave

    One again, leak was the odds on favorite for your problem. You can often spot the leaking site by looking for oil. Refrigerant and oil usually leak out together. Common sites are compressor, rear ac lines near muffler, possible condenser, hose connections and service ports. A pro would...

    AC system working but no cold air in cabin

    Great, Kite. I think you're on the right track. One further word of advice: there are marketing companies that promote products that are supposed to seal leaks in ac systems. I strongly advise you to stay away from these. When, not if, they fail they leave a condition known as "black...

    2005LC AC issues

    You need to measure ac pressures while it is failing. Problem could be refrigerant overcharge, poor airflow maybe fan clutch, bad pressure switch, several other things.

    Hardwiring Dash Cam with Add-A-Fuse

    Did you put TWO fuses in the Add-a fuse? I didn't see them both at first, then figured to add a second device, I would need a second fuse. Only one of the fuses is needed for the additional device, but if you don't have a fuse in the right slot, it won't work. Good luck, Dave

    2003 LC air con not blowing cold at idle

    Agree with Flipped. I installed the condenser fan and I think it will work great. The fan is slightly audible outside the car, but not inside. Good luck, Dave

    Land Cruiser Heaven leather seats

    That labor price of $650 for 8 seats is extremely inexpensive. I have done several seats, including LC's and they take lots of time. Looks like a nice result. Good luck, Dave
