    FJ40 AC - Permanent Removal?

    Maybe I will try them again. It gets hotter than the gates of hell here, with humidity to boot, so if we can get it to work it might be best. Thanks for the input.

    FJ40 AC - Permanent Removal?

    I did contact them initially but did not get any real help or feedback. I think they just wanted to get me off the phone to be honest.

    FJ40 AC - Permanent Removal?

    Seeking opinions on this....my 76 TLC has Vintage Air installed by the previous owner back in 2012. It's a clean job, and records appear to indicate it was done by a shop and not under a tree somewhere. I have never been a big AC guy, but my missus kind of wanted it so we bought this truck with...

    Good advice. Thanks. I will get in touch with them now. As a newbi to this truck, I welcome all the advice I can get!!

    They will be replacing the stock Toyota harness / fuses and everything will be set up around the chevy drivetrain. The guy I bought the truck from did everything top notch on this truck but stopped short with the wiring and dash. Under the hood is all modern chevy, etc. but then under the dash...

    I totally hear ya, if it were an old untouched gem, no way would I modify like this. But the idea this truck is lightly modified left the barn many years ago! It's a total restomod for lack of better term.

    Question...the guys at the shop where we have taken the LC for the rewire will be making up a new wiring harness for the truck. I am thinking about ordering the Dakota dash in the next day or so. I noticed you referencing "coolerman" for a plug to "tap" into everything needed. Is this because...

    Definitely....I just stumbled on that at the bottom of the page. A must have!

    The VHX runs $800 vs $1300 for the HDX. All the $500 extra gives you are bells and whistles I'll never use.......bluetooth ability to change the color/lighting, etc......really?? I'd never use it. Comparing the two I just can't justify the additional money. No charge for the tach either. Might...

    I just called Dakota and they will do a half tach, so 4K since they are 8k standard. No up charge either.

    Cool....I am going to see if they can still do the 5k tach. That is so much more practical for the LC I think. Thanks for all of your insight with this!

    I was wondering why you chose the VHX over the HDX? I really like the way your tach looks. The newer VHX tachs don't look that nice.

    That's the ashtray to the right, and it is pretty darn symmetrical with those two gauges. I hat to cut into the dash any more. That ashtray works great for keys, etc. !

    Yes, that'd be a piece of cake relatively speaking. I really need someplace to hang the cell phone and this may be the calling I was waiting for!!

    That's a good idea. No drilling either. I think they have some sticky adhesive that can be removed without destroying anything. Might be the ticket for one of those holes.

    That sounds like a plan. Good ideas. Thanks for the help!

    Man that looks great. No doubt. One problem I face is what to do with the two holes left by the existing water and tach the previous owner decided to install (I take no responsibility for that move!!). If I go with the Dakota, I could put a digital clock in one hole...maybe an aluminum plug in...

    Thanks for the opinion. I just now saw it. I must have an alert toggle off stating I have new messages....anyway, thanks for the help!

    Dakota VS. Real Gauges

    Would love to hear opinions on this....I love our 76 FJ Restomod except that the previous owner left all of the old wiring and fuses under the dash while adding newer wiring and fuses for fuel injection, ac, etc. There are wires to nowhere under there.... I think I am going to have the truck...

    Ambulance Door Keys

    I think that in the end, you are right. Just get the new cylinder assembly. They are't too expensive at all, and boom, you have two keys right off the bat. Thanks.
