Looks good, thank you both!

Interesting. I did try that before posting on here but the fitting wouldn’t connect. It’s a can of A/C Pro, for what it’s worth.

Hey Everyone, I’m trying to find the low pressure port on a vintage air setup (installed by previous owner) and can’t find it anywhere. There is a line directly from the compressor to the evaporator but no charging port. I have a bottle of A/C Pro and trying to test the system and recharge if...

My mom and I bought a ‘76 after my dad passed away a year ago. Just something to keep at her house as an excuse to bring friends and family over to work on it. We spent the last several months working on the engine and suspension and took it out to Anna Maria for its first real drive today...

Hey Everyone, I have 5 like-new BFG MT’s in 31X10.5R15. They’re in excellent condition, date coded late 2021; I'd guess under 1k miles. The tires came with a vehicle we purchased but we installed smaller tires and plan to go back to stock suspension height next weekend so we can keep the sweet...

Appreciate it! I’m only a month into this but learning a lot. Will take all the advice here and see how it goes.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone, I just bought a FJ40 and need to replace the power steering rack. Was told I had a mini truck conversion so I bought a replacement which isn’t even close. Yea I should’ve confirmed before ordering. So I need to return what I bought. Can anyone tell what type of power steering...

A big thanks to @70fj40 for the Cruiser Outfitters recommendation. Luckily the OME set didn’t ship and I was able to cancel the order (shout out to Cruiser Corps for being so accommodating!). Cruiser Outfitters has a stock height setup in stock that they’re shipping, and along with smaller...

Appreciate the idea of removing a spring but is it possible to avoid that and just run an OEM or smaller shackle instead?

Hey Everyone, I have an OME 2” lift kit (light) on the way to replace a a worn out shocks and springs on a ‘76 FJ40. But here’s the crazy part… I don’t need the “lift!” I want to try to stay close to stock height so we can get it in the garage with the roof rack. There’s a ton of articles...

Appreciate the feedback, thanks! Hoping to save the $500 as well.
