Builds 81 bj42 build..... trusty rusty

[Ambrew]

It's been a while! So, for once, i got lucky.... and I mean LUCKY! Found an original toyota evaporator unit, control unit, condenser, some hard ac lines, denso compressor and a spare 24v compressor AND bracket.... not to mention the correct tube for the heater air feed!


AMAZING! So, now i need to figure out of I convert all the 12v stuff to 24v or create a 12v power source for the AC.... to be continued... gonna keep the LC in the garage instead of storage to work on if this winter.

Interesting control box add-on; I wouldn’t mind seeing pictures of the pig tail & harness. I haven’t seen an idle up knob before.

Also, did this come out of a left-hand drive BJ42? The air duct that sits behind the blower looks like it came from a right-hand drive 40-series.

Remind me if i do not post pics of the control box. Yes, it looks like a LHD tube, havent tried to fit it but the proper end is on the proper side. And this came from a Canadian parts stash.

Thanks... I have the FSM for the factory air conditioning; I'll scan it & post a link to it. Since I'm converting a NOS 12 volt setup to be used on my BJ42 I'm very interested in your progress.

A bit late to the party, But any chance I can find this FSM for the factory AC somewhere? I have a JDM BJ44 with the same setup and was hoping one day to get it back to life..

Troy -- did the wiring diagram for the FJ55 work for you for your 40 ? Running into same issue and just checking back to see if this worked for you ?
