Jeep brah!!

crux

Went up Forest Rd 462 off Coyote Trail head over the weekend exploring the area a bit further. With time short wondering if anyone has ever done night wheeling out there. Would sound like a good trip fro a few XJ to hit the trail.

How was it?

I need more advice, because I am completely stupid with AC stuff. I have replaced my hoses for the AC because of a leak. I had it recharged and the AC stayed cold for almost a month, now it stopped cooling down again. I checked for a leak and I didn't find any. Would the AC Compressor being bad cause that or do I need to look at something else? I'm sick of the AC already, I wish I wasn't such a diva about having a cool Jeep with the windows up.

Hahahahahaha!!!! Thats awesome! y you no get stuck!

Ganna clean up my ghetto carpet removal and finally wash the whole jeep later

Still don't feel to great so everyone be warned this sick bug going around is pretty tough

Had a similar problem charged and not cooling. When you turn the AC on engaging the compressor there is a wheel that starts turning. If its not turning take a wrench to it, it should have some resistance but if it is fighting to turn your clutch may be stuck. If its getting hot cuz it's being forced to move its grinding down a bearing.

87XJBazooka

Yeah the clutch engages, but it does it frequently and for short bursts. Like every 45 seconds for just a few seconds. There is a squeal coming from one of the pulleys and I am in the process of replacing my power steering pump, so if the squeal remains I know it's that bearing. I don't mind changing the compressor, its waiting for someone to fill and test the unit again, for the 3rd time...

crux

Trail up there is great. Some challenges, great views quite a few side trail options, some really nice backcountry camp sites. Want to get out there again here soon.

When you replaced the hoses did you tighten all the hoses and check the o rings. Also did you retro fit for 134a if you need help I have the gauges and pump and everything else too, expect the freon

87XJBazooka

Yeah, well the previous hose has some screwed up o-rings so I made sure everything was tightened. I have an extra set of o-rings just in case. It doesn't seem like a big leak because it lasted awhile and then had a sudden onset.

Hey that would be awesome man, I wouldn't mind getting the freon. I hate waiting at the freaking auto shop, I am a hands on kind of guy.

I'm down for a night time wheeling trip. I swear I have an xj lol. It's still in the shop though.
