I was using this as my daily driver for years and finally bought a newer sedan.
This is 260k, mostly stock, without diff locks. Fair condition.
I always dreamt of keeping it as an extra vehicle that I could have fun with but I'm reconsidering. For my off roading needs our newer 4 runner...
UPDATE: Checked system pressure and it was low. Added the R134a and it's blowing cold air. BUT, we still have the loud clicking noise when it's engaged. In the video this starts at 0:08 on the timer.
Looking at the engaged clutch closer, it spins wobbly and rough while engaged. When not...
Ok. Calling around. Christo and Robbie are too far at this point.

I'm seeing posts...
Hello!
Still no brake lights but some progress: all signals and flashers seem to be operating normally now and not getting stuck in the on position. I 'm not hearing the clicking from the shift interlock . No more door open flashing. Nothing sticks out to me as to why these things have...
Excellent advice.
I will be checking the items suggested by mingles.
As a matter of fact jonheld, the last time I had the safelight tech (now known as the safelight apes) out to replace windshield, they said too much rust but they're the only ones who've been in there in the last five...
