Me and my 80 hung out in the garage where we cobbled together a furniture dolly, an IKEA esque bookshelf destined for the trash, a 1" ratchet strap, various scraps of OSB, melamine and plywood together with some 14" full extension drawer slides into a pretty handy little triage cart. The big dolly base makes it stable even if I fully extend all the shelves at the same time.

Where are you located? Most of the Cali guys in the TLCA or local groups probably have parts guys. I know my local dealer in Cali gives the Landcruiser guys a good price.

I discovered this mid-size stackable Milwaukee tool box is a great fit in the 2nd row. It's exactly the size you need to fit two side by side, and it's the same height as the Dobinson/Titan/Chinese drawers. Here it is test fitted (since I still have to remove the seats). I mounted it to the 2nd row seat anchor bar using a u-bolt and holes I drilled in the bottom of the box.

Looks good, Am I being dumb asking why the two holes at the top?

Inspected and cleaned the center console, put some leather care onto the dried out shift lever covers (I think since 1995 I was the first one doing so) also built a 4-way USB charger with voltmeters displaying both in and out voltage.

Yesterday at Old Faithful in Yellowstone: with stickers and Georgia license plate

... and then, Saturday morning in Cooke City, just outside the northeast entrance to Yellowstone NP:

 

[wfd175]

Started the conversion on my 4/93 80 from R12 to R134. Compressor was weak and I believe there was a combination of R12 and R134 in the system from the PO.

Had the refrigerant pumped out at a local shop. Dismantling and flushing All
Components .Changing out as needed evap, condenser. Have both in hand JIc they don’t clean up and test out. Swapping out New O-rings, compressor, pressure switch, drier, expansion valve, and inline filter.

Compressor runs continuously, makes coldish air, but doesn’t get up to operating pressures. Issue could be the expansion valve sticking, maybe the pressure switch but it’s low on what should be R12 also so I’m biting the bullet and converting it to a post 5/93 ac system.

I’m Planning a trip out west this August including SAS 3, don’t want complete failure on the trip.
