007 Tacoma PRO build AC compressor fail

2007 Tacoma PROject AC compressor is done saved by the ball joint pickle fork. There is a Dorman Air Conditioning Bypass Pulley 34257 that fits FJ and 4 Runners that have the same motor. Would this work on the 07

also shameless plug for my 007 build

Just a update on where i am with this

the Dorman 34257 pulley (ac delete pulley) is listed for a LC's and 4 runner applications, same motor, bolts to the same bracket (OEM part #'s) but they have different compressors. I could not find one local and even when i went to order one to try they said supplier is also all out. So i guess that is the end of that ! i was having concerns that where it has a different compressor the back spacing might be off and i would be killing belts.

So ....

this truck will not have ac due to the amount of money it would take to get it to run again. I know people have said i NEED ac for the defrost but there is a guy in my local toyota club that said you just need to "trick" the truck into thinking the ac is working and he has this done to his truck and it works fine. I will give more info on this when i find it out.

I had the idea of taking the pulley off the compressor and just replacing the bearing in the pulley and not hook up the electromagnetic so it does not try to pull the clutch into the pulley to turn on the pump. Basically it would be the same situation as running the truck with the AC off the compressor does not spin only when power is sent to the magnet that pulls the outer clutch half into the pulley and engages the compressor.

But i have a rusted pile of $hit and trying to get it app art i am destroying the pulley, if i used a damaged pulley i would risk killing belts not something i want to get into.


Clear as MUD ?
