I've been debating on using the factory air compressor or using an inverter with a small pancake compressor. I have a freon leak but cant find it probably in the dash, dryer I think

 

Hey I recognize this jeep. I'm in your town pretty regularly (L.V.) good work.

 

This look's dangerous. In a front end collision the hood could possibly come through the windshield. Just saying.

 

OBA is 'on demand' only. It only takes about 40 seconds to complete fill the system from zero, so not really an issue...especially since it's only hot enough for AC about 2 weeks a year.

 

My system has been empty for a couple of years, decided that I had more need for OBA than AC. Plus I NEEDED my airhorn to force the jackwagon idiots from out of in front of me.

 

I read this all the time and I still can't figure out a scenario in respect to Newton's three laws of motion where this would be a huge concern. Only two scenarios I can think of that would even apply.

1) High speed collision in reverse. I don't drive fast enough in reverse to warrant this as a concern

2) Head on collision while sitting at stop. It still has to shear the 4 bolts simultaneously and a host of other factors to perfectly fly through a windshield at the same angle. Some final fantasy stuff.

 

I saw this coming. Let the argument begin!

 

If a head on collision in a 45 mph zone does this to a Cherokee, how hard do you think it would be to shear off four bolts? Just imagine if the other vehicle was taller like a full size pickup. I'm not one to risk being decapitated by my hood. YMMV.

Has anyone got in a wreck with unibody stiffeners? I wonder how much more it would protect

 

Finished this just now

 

a head on in a 45 is like a wall at 90. At I didn't say that they wouldn't shear, I said simultaneously. With the way the hood is aligned in respect the windshield the bolts would need to all shear at the same time.

And remember what Newton said, an object in motion stays in motion until acted upon by an outside force. You hood is an object in motion so its propensity is travel forward. Meaning it will crumple as it hits a pickup, not break 4 bolts simultaneously while continuing to be in perfect form.

 

A head on head at 45 would be the same as hitting a wall at 45. I saw it on mythbusters, it's a pretty cool episode.

 

Wrong. Myth busters need to learn laws of motion before doing tricks.

 

I was wrong, you are right sir. Touche. I still maintain my position on the hood though.

 

They did a head to head crash at 50 then hitting a wall at 50 then hitting a wall at 100. The car that hit it at 100 was smashed back to the trunk and the head to. Head cars both didn't crush back passed the front doors. I think the law they used was "every action has an equal and opposite reaction" I could be wrong though.
