Do you mean 80 series or 1980? It takes a lot of fab work to get this in there. If you have an fj80 that runs well now I would just turbo it. I could have saved a ton of work by just using the stock gauges but no, I had to have the Lexus cluster in there. I have to do some fiberglass or plastic welding to mold the cluster in so it looks right. I will update you later.

Yes it's 95 80 series, it does run good, just need couple of small oil leak issues, but nothin major.
If it requires so much fab work, I'll just end up going turbo, if I keep the truck long enough
But, yeah I love it!!!

It's not a bother but please search the question first. This is a very common car so 99% of the time your issue has been seen before

My AC started to not work properly a few weeks back, it wasn't cooling anymore. So I called a Mobile AC Man I've used in the past for my daily driver and he came out to the house and checked out the system.

Turns out all that was needed was to recharge the unit and now it's back to blowing that nice cold air again!

He filled up the AC system to the proper levels after checking for any leaks and found none.

I also took some pics of the car inside of its home.

So, I am going to guess you've done the R12 to R134 conversion???

I had that done on mine and soon found out that even with "no leaks" the system requires a re-charge every year.... I may have a minor leak but it has not been found yet so after about a year the system starts to degrade....

Car is looking gorgeous as usual!!!!

Duck,
The conversion was done to R134. I'll defiantly keep an eye on it.

Thanks! I try to keep it looking nice and clean!
