Nope. It was sprayed over, though.

Did yours have a bolt stuffed in it too?
Mine passed through the grommet through the floor and then had nothing on the other side. No nipple/bead for a hose even. On the other side of the floor there is nothing.Looks like it was for the return fuel line to the tank
And skipping all the wiring and circuitry here's the additional gauge added to the dash:

It communicates with the DD dash via CANbus signal, so I can put whatever I want in the additional gauge which is nice. Also I didn't have to drill any holes in the dash, just ran the wires through the Brake/Seatbelt warning bezel. These warnings are now plumbed into the cluster as well.

Mike, I meant to talk to you about this when we met as SAS but I didn't get a chance with all the other craziness that was going on - where did you get this quad guage? Does it have to use CAN to run, or can it run independently? How is your gearbox temp monitoring going? Avg temps? I remember you showing me the air duct you added to your t-case, what kind of delta did that have on temps? As much data as possible please, if you care to share
Split case should be better at dissipating heat than what I've got due to the aluminum case and increase in surface area. I'm sure the standard gear set is a little happier at high speed over the 4:1 set as well. My intermediate case runs cool. It is always exactly in the middle between transmission and orion temperature. That is unless I'm using the 2.3 for fire roads or in the sand in which case it begins to heat up and out run the other two boxes.That is great info. Thank you.
I am running a split case so it’s a bit better in terms of high speed/load situations but I’m still concerned about it’s longevity with multiple cross country runs at 85-90mph in high temps. Same story with my doubler.
Ok Guys it's probably time for an update...
I'm not going to post too many details yet on this but I did design nd build a custom AC system at the end of the summer:

I get a constant 38*F out the vent on cool regardless of outside conditions:

I have a hole in my roof here so stuck this out of it:

Lost no interior/footwell space over original and maintained the outside air and recirc along with all original functionality. Also now I have a true defrost View attachment 2511774

One of the best parts is now the blower is nearly silent even on the highest setting.
I'm not ready to share the details because I'm not sure if I want to try to reproduce it or not. On one hand It works really great and is simple and retains all original functionality and looks, but on he other hand I'm really busy.
I'd love to see how you ended up doing the AC. I really like that you kept the factory heater and just integrated it. Where did you get the new A/C pull knob?
I had the knob made by Red Line Land Cruisers - Parts, Restoration, & Service - Toyota FJ40, FJ55, FJ60, FJ62, FJ80 & More - Red Line Land Cruisers and then drilled and tapped it for the 5mm pull switch from a headlight switch:

Absolutely baller. What’s that compressor original application?
