Some Toyota FJ Cruiser owners report experiencing air conditioning failures due to improper winch rope installation, which can cause abrasion to the aluminum AC line located in front of the radiator/condenser. This damage can significantly affect the AC system's performance. Owners are advised to regularly check the aluminum AC line for signs of wear and ensure it is correctly positioned to prevent further abrasion and potential AC failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of the AC components in relation to the winch installation are crucial for preventing such issues and ensuring the efficient operation of the air conditioning system.
