getting antsy... (1 Viewer)

The compressor is rebuildable - I think O'Reilly has a seal kit for it for like $20. Can't be that big of a deal to rebuild...

You'll need to do what I do with the inside and find something to absorb the heat that comes into the cab from the exhaust pipes while it's sitting. I swear I'd like to kick the crap out of whoever at Toyota decided to put the cat directly under the driver's seat. Brilliant.

I think exped is the way to go for these things...they're just designed for it, you know?

How bad is your carpet? Post up some digital photos of it - I may have some tips for cleaning it up (if that's all that's wrong with it).

so why do you have the old compresor to begin with? didn't pull it out of yours did you? i thought you were doing all of that work to fix the a/c.

carpet is torn out up front. the windshield gasket was leaking so bad that it basically ruined it. i tore out all of the front carpet. really all i need to do is get the gasket replaced and then find some used carpet (brown) or go with something other than carpet.

your so right about that CAT. try it with no carpet, just ask gumby how that drive was with no carpet AND no a/c down from IL earlier this summer.

Gumby needed to loose a few pounds - the sauna drive was good for him.

The old compressor is the one I pulled out of my truck. I found a good used one and just replaced it instead of rebuilding the stupid thing. I was too pissed to mess with it. I thought about rebuilding it to have a back up, but you know...screw it. It leaks at the front shaft near the clutch/pulley.

Get some of that green indoor/outdoor carpet and replace your seats with cedar lawn furniture. You'd have a totally retro backyard look, right in your truck! (I know that Mace is reading this and thinking..."Hell Yeah!" ) - Replacment carpet is a bitch though. I think if you get new carpet, it'll cost about $1.25 million (US) per square foot...the interior replacement pieces seem to be made of magic and butterfly farts, just like FJ62s (the only thing I can account for cost-wise, at least.) And any of the replacement stuff I've seen in auto parts stores is aways cheap and black...we need to invent something here...

i might take the compressor, but i have to figure out why the a/c doesn't work first....

my seats are in good shape thanks to the PO...only thing i can really thank him for.

no way in hell i'm buying NEW carpet. i've already dumped enough money into this rig on other stupid things. i'll go carpetless before buying new carpet. there was another thread with some good ideas on carpet alternatives. i'll have to dig it up whenever i get around to replacing it....i'm still just trying to get everything unpacked in the house and make room for the cruiser in the garage.

 

[swank60]

Send me a link on the carpet alternatives - I'd be interested in that if you find anything good.

Agreed. Liquid Offroad has them for almost the same price. (the real deal)

 

[swank60]

Actually, LO has the tuffy that I want (w/o the stereo box) for $205...and I just ordered it.
