what went wrong with yours?
Yeah probably not lol well before I drove it 6k miles in 2 weeks from NJ to Cali I took it to a shop and they pretty much relaxed everything. Then got to Cali and it stopped being cold and then my compressor seized and crapped the bed. Got a new one put in and that's the last time I put money into my AC system. St the time the shop asked if I wanted to get it running or get it running with working AC. Seeing as I was stranded and had to get back to work and didn't have enough money to eat the AC working I just asked them to get the jeep to running status

Went up a section of the local Cleghorn trail with Braytonia. He got his first experience of pulling a wheel too far off the ground. Was a close one but had a good time. Even found a spot to baby flex on.

I'm always curious with auto ACs. When there's a good leak at a connection, does the oil come.out too. Or is it in the shaft of the compressor

Filled it up for a drive to drop off a jeep part for a member and take a couple small engines to another member.

Got death wobble after replacing my steering box. Been over literally every steering and suspension related part including rotation and balance, and alignment. Didn't do it before the box swap

running in park, raise hood and turn,left/right the steering shaft, see if the box has any play. my 98 had cracked frame, box wiggled.

With a slow leak you'll usually get just a little oil at the connection. The bigger the leak the more oil comes out.

Thanks. No cracks in my frame. Had my friend saw the steering wheel and couldn't find anything loose or moving. The steering box is super stiff, so I am just going to swap the box.
