How to get peak AC performance from your 2003+ 100 series (1 Viewer)

Was able to find more switch blanks in the Toyota parts system. Aux Fan kits in stacked to the ceiling and ready to ship

Order placed! Thanks @LandCruiserPhil

Full kit installed, no problem...Thanks, @LandCruiserPhil

EDIT 6/14/2019:
Drove in 93 degree temps today for about 3 hours and MUCH "go, stop, idle" (5 o'clock on a Friday) on a major Texas highway I-35 and all was crisp and cold even in the stop and go traffic.
Seems more consistent as well as a bit cooler.
Wifey approved!
We generally keep it Max Cold and adjust fan speed or Rear Air as needed.
Such an easy mod for 2003+ cruisers

I think about an hour and a half. Had to drill for the side bracket. All is well getting ready for our trip on Friday. Thanks again!

50 mins into the travel and we took our first stop. idled for 20mins changed diapers and got some snacks in the Nevada desert. Biting cold.

Crazzy downtown LA traffic and aircon is still freezing

Couldn’t say more how this updrade/mod is turning out to be the best $200+ I’ve spent.

Amen, that, and the blizzard white, are what I was looking for, but service history trumped everything, and ended up with black.

Thanks again Phil. It’s almost that time of the year when temperatures will soar up again to ++110°F. But we’re still in our usual 3rd winter here in the valley for now.

Ordered a kit and it shipped quick. However I don’t have the AB connections labeled in my fan, and I don’t have connectors on the end of the wire. Just two spare connectors and bare wire. So what color goes to the top connector and what one goes to the bottom connector? Thanks

figured it out by pics in the thread. Can’t figure out where exactly to snake the wire through the firewall at though.

Heat up the end of an awl (philips screw driver will work) and poke you a hole.

After digging around I found another Toyota application that uses the correct lower factory bushing for aftermarket 100 series fans.:clap: The kits now include factory bushings. If you go with the factory fan you do not need these bushing. If that is you then deduct $12 from the kit price...
