Chipotle is good lol. Haven't had it in a while. Halal food is really good from the cart on the corners. Get some lamb over rice.

Hey guys, i've got a quick question and was wondering if one of you guys could throw me a bone, kind of a sanity check.

So i need to replace both lines that are coming out of the A/C Condenser in my 96 XJ

are these two things what i need?



I've looked at a 96 xj parts diagram, i need the line from the condenser to the drier, and the line from the condenser to the compressor (discharge line?).

Any help would be appreciated!

Looks like that is correct. Make sure if the system has been open or empty for any length of time you replace the drier canister as well.

Perfect! I do plan on purchasing a drier and a new condenser as well. I was going to do it myself, but with R134A being toxic and having to properly remove any refrigerant that may be left in the system, I sadly dont have those tools.

Im getting the itch to start doing some mods to the XJ, as of right now, its just well maintained with some nice character marks, seeing pictures of your guys' toys makes me want more

if it's not working and there are holes in the system, there's probably no refrigerant left. You can try carefully depressing the pin valve on the return line (the smaller port) with a small screwdriver to see if any fluid/vapor comes out <<WATCH YOUR EYES IN CASE THERE IS>>.

Thanks for the tip, i just did this (put on some gloves and eye protection), and there is nothing left in the system. I'll knock it out and drop it off for a proper recharge when im done, appreciate you being so helpful.

Will do when I get a chance. It's all stock right now. Poor thing is my daily driver and is mostly stuck on the pavement. Most exciting thing that's happened to it lately is I replaced the fan clutch, haha.

Hey hey now. Some of us don't have the chance to get out that often.

On a side note. My ******* threw my hat into the COTM for August. I'd be most appreciative if I could get some support.

LittleBuddy

true, repairs will keep you off the trails.

LittleBuddy

and I'll vote for ya, but I'd better see that blicky out soon

dukie564

true that. Been in the shop too long there duders

MadEddy

Pretty much, since I moved up here. It's tragic.

ohh we'll be participating more often now. The Cove is under two hours from me and is much easier to do day trips to than RC. Then we got the Chaos events sitting out there and of course Big Dogs stuff as well. Lots of options these days.
