This past weekend's progress on the FJC mirror install...
I got the defrost grids installed and wired to the mirror harness and the fog lights fully wired. I ran out of time to run power to the mirror harness and switch for power control and defrost.
Some progress pics:

I see you have the Turbo thermostat outlet... I run an aftermarket water temp through that.
Also - ref $2K for the AC...
In 1989 (new) I had the dealer install the OEM AC - it was $700 installed. It uses the OEM parts (as far as I can tell)
Thats $1400 in todays dollars.
And thats without having to make custom hoses etc.
That being said - after having converted my R12 over to R134, I think you could have tackled this yourself given the other work you have shown on this thread.
That front condenser, looks like its a parallel flow.
Any idea on a part number for that unit?

Thanks! Unfortunately my 60+ hour job prompts me to outsource certain larger projects if I want them done timely. I left it up to the shop to source all of the parts so I have no idea on the PN.
As for the thermostat housing I don't know turbo from non-turbo. It was on there when I bought it.
Fresh out of District Fab R&D. I wasn't happy with any of the options available on the market for mounting the ARB awning to round Yakima bars. After recent woes with wind and rooftop accessories, I designed these to be super heavy duty.
More good stuff in the works. I've been keeping Mike at District Fab busy...

Hey there, I was wondering how your interior was holding up after the redo? I am almost to the point of getting out from under my 4Runner and concentrating on the inside.

Any thing you would have done differently?
