Then June comes...
Mine has a refrigerant leak, By using probability I will assume it's behind the dash. But I have done absolutely no troubleshooting yet. Low on my list for most of the year. The guy who owned it before me was a diesel tech at ford. He only owned it from November to May the year I bought it. So he didn't realize it was broke until I pointed it out. The day he sold it to me he took it into his work and charged the refrigerant. Two days later it was blowing warm again.

I would like to get mine working again too. I always say in the spring time "AC?, who needs it."

What was even worse for me was working all day in the heat then putting my full face helmet, gloves and a jacket on to ride my motorcycle home. I love driving the jeep to work when it's not out of commission because even without a/c I can wear shorts and a tshirt, but luckily my a/c does work for now.
event with the factory a/c the jeep never really cooled well

Washed the Jeeps and tried the heat gun trick on the faded plastics. Worked pretty slick.

Picked up some stuff to go with my new air compressor. The really important time sensitive purchase cause I need it this very second is the Fluid Film gun kit. LOL. That impact is an old craftsmen my friend gave me that he said was essential junk. But it was free. Plus have a new hatch window molding coming. Decided to go through with the privacy glass conversion instead of having the tints in there that turned purple replaced. Cost a little more but figure it will be better in the long run.
