Very true, but it's another seal, or o-ring to fail. I was thinking more in the direction of simple.

Thanks. I'll look at his site. I have an ac parts supplier about 30 min down the road. I had them make my hose between the dryer & condenser, and it was only $25-30. I might see if they can just make an adapter with 134A fittings, and delete the valve all together.

AC is out again. This go around the service ports blew the seal on the valve portion! Anyone know if the valves are rebuild able, or where I can find the correct valves?

Yep, that's what happened to me. I just finished mine recently. Used it once since. My last thing to do is use the foam fan & duct cleaner. I can only imagine how bad it is.

MJ has AC & Heat AND it operates in all modes!!!

I was going to actually zip some bushings out of HDPE, or similar. High density plastic should take a considerable amount of time to wear out.

Thanks to my good buddy, and his parts Cherokee; I now have a completely new vacuume harness. I'll pop it in later tonight, and finally I can get the entire HVAC functioning properly.

Effing SOB previous owner!!

I've seen those in the help section at the parts stores. They will be a universal set of rubber stops.

I'll try to get a few sets made over the next week or so, and test out the thickness. My goal is to take up some of the slack, and stop the tailgate from being so clunky in it's mounts.

Did the MJ tailgate have a plastic bushing in the hinge? I know mine does not, and the hinges are very loose. If I go through the process, would anyone be interested? I can as easily make 1 set, as I can make 20.

I finally got my new AC condenser installed a few days ago, and the replacement line between the dryer & condenser is the wrong one.[emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959] I finally got pissed, and had a line made for $30. Vacuumed the system, charged it up, and I got cold air! Well.....I got cold air from the defrost vents, so I gotta tackle that tomorrow. I'm almost positive it's the control panel now. I had done some vacuume system repairs previously, and verified that I had vacuume at the controll panel after repairs. [emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959][emoji2959] So close, and just in time for the cold weather to start moving in!

That's about how it is for a long time. I've been quit since 2014, and I have days I could go burn one like I never stopped.

If I was doing a straight up restoration I would be calling you today. I like gadgets to much. Guess the few years I worked for the local car audio shop stuck with me. BTW: I've got the OE radios from my son's 94 YJ, and my 92 MJ. They worked when removed. If you want them, let me know. I can stick them in a USPS flat rate box.

I know it's not cheap, but I'm going to all silicone vacuume lines. I've already done my TJ engine, and lines to the lockers. Cost me about $75 in total. All I've got left is to do my axle vents and transmission vent. Another $45 roughly. I've guesstimated the MJ at around $75-100.

Can you tell my over the rail toolbox is under the SofTopper? [emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16][emoji16]

The OE lights in the cluster just didn't light up the gauge very well for me. The green color is easy on my eyes. I used a dark red in my 03 TJ, and dark purple in the wife's JKU. The 94, and 01 wrangles will both get green as soon as I get to them. Oh yeah, a 215 is skinny for an MJ in my opinion. That's what was on mine when I got it. 215\55R15 highway tread. [emoji2961] I put 235\75s on it within a week or so. Much better, and fixed my speedo.

So let me just clear it all up, and squash it! Me&my86MJ I apologise if I offended you, or you felt degraded by my comments. I in no way meant for you to feel judged, or that this wasn't a safe space. I'll refrain from offering my opinion or information to you unless you ask. Sincerely Greasemonkey Can we all sing Kumbaya & hug now?

Your eyes must be far better at focus from far to near than mine! I've never had any big issues with Wranglers. I've only ever had Uniroyal laredo's blow out repeatedly. I daily drive my MJ, but that's an average of 6-8mi daily. I don't run the interstate much, and when I do it's usually 4-5mi. Heavy rain, snow, flooding, mud, dirt...... is all done in one of the other Jeeps with far better tires. Oh, and I toss tires at roughly half tread.

The green down take away from my outward visibility. It's the opposite for me. The white OE light was so dim I had to do more than glance down to see what my gauge were reading. White LEDs were to bright, when I looked at a set in a buddy's XJ before I did my LED swap. The green only gives a glow, and doesn't illuminate the entire cabin as the white. It's bright enough for me to see, but not distracting, or taking away from my vision. I don't have any traction issues in my truck with the Walmart wranglers. It holds the road just fine, and as I said...... If I need something with more traction I'll drive one of the 4x4s. Your assessment of minimal or adequate tire contact area is subjective at best. I didn't criticize him to begin with, but your doing a bang up job of criticizeing my choices! I tried to offer up better options for what he was trying to achieve based on what he posted. I'm sorry if it read badly, but it is the internet, and it's easy to mistake the tone as you read something. I might have made a smart @$$ comment about a $#!& box, but I was never nasty about anything. I've not defended anything other than the only example I gave him of an actual cold air intake! Oh and defend myself against your claims of knowing the brightness level of my gauge cluster, and the road manners of my truck.

I absolutely agree that the coffee can is better than nothing as a barrier to reduce moisture, dirt, or damage,but that's not what the original post was about. It was about a cold air intake. I was trying to give him some options that would give him actual cool air, and improve performance. That's not cool weather, that's freezing. So no I don't imagine the under hood temp wouldn't be terribly high in freezing weather. I guess I should have been more specific. Cool is a subjective term to define. BTW: My Walmart wranglers are perfect for a daily driver that will see nothing more than a little rain. If I need traction, there's a YJ, 2 TJs, and a JKU in the driveway. You should try the Green LED dash lights. They are far more easily seen at night, but not blinding.

I'm far from upset, were just holding a conversation. $#!& box is a technical term. I though you were a certified wrench turner? I've not given you a glimpse of my balls! [emoji16] I'm not sure you would be the same afterwards. [emoji23] I don't assume to know more than you, or know your life, as I can only attest to my own. I bet you got a bunch of papers to prove your smarter than me, and that's ok I make stupid work for me. [emoji16] I wasnt giving greif but guidance. Like my first post to you.......I only told you that I could give you several options that were better than what was pictured. I gave an example, and expanded upon that in my second post to you. Your intake being open, or housed is up to you. I can give you an opinion on what's better for what you do with it, but that's not where we're at. You stated that the pic was going to be a cold air intake. I just pointed out that it's in no way a cold air intake if it's pulling air from the engine compartment. It also isn't optimal to use metal in the intake, but I have some in my TJ due to necessity of location. In fact my TJ is rolling around with a bunch of the plastic flex tube from the mock up I did, and a year later haven't had the silicone tubes bent.
