Yes, unfortunately I was working late into the night. I was tired and I was in denial that I needed reading glasses...😒. That’s what happens ! Now I have to do it all over again ! 😂
Yes, I charged it and ran it. It cools but not as good as I was hoping for. I found out my evaporator core was leaking and that’s how I started working on the AC. Along with that I changed out the expansion valve, dryer and compressor as suggested. I wanted to make sure the AC was good for...
I had issues with my AC and this thread was awesome. As far as oil, my new compressor that I didn’t really need cane pre oiled from Denso. My new Denso dryer needed oil and I think it needed almost all of the bottle. Something like 8 oz. don’t remember. The dryer came with instructions on...
FYI, I bought a Red waterproof LED strip on Amazon for $8. I removed the old brake strip and replaced it with the LEDs. It was easy, bright and has been working great for over a year now. I saw it on YouTube on another vehicle. Hope this helps.
My small contribution to the PHH challenge. I’ve attached pictures for illustration purposes. I had green coolant and a pending trip to Overland Expo so I decided to tackle it and change to Toyota red and do other things like the PHH while at it.

Hello Joe, I found a new Toyota valve for $55. I believe I found it at Mag Engines. They shipped it from somewhere in the Middle East. It was a genuine Toyota part. The aftermarket I had was no good. I didn’t want to take a chance.
I have a question about the heater control valve. I replaced mine since the original was old and brittle. The new one did not come with the lever so I used the old lever with the the old screw in the new valve. It is leaking coolant from the lever. Did I miss something ? I took out the...
So I decided to take vacation to paint my Cruiser with tintable Upol Raptor liner. I love the product but it did not go as planned. I mixed Sunset Bronze Mica with Raptor liner and sprayed ! Needles to say the color that can out was not what I expected. Need to figure out if I can paint over...
That looks pretty sweet! And small so it won’t get damaged ! If mine gets damaged, it will be easy now to replace with this or any other screw on antenna.
