I’m interested in this too. I have a 42” curved light bar waiting for me to install it.
What did you do to your jeep today?

No whistling thank you jeep gods. I think it may have to do with the placement. Maybe also the luggage rack behind it or maybe because it’s curved. But I also didn’t use the stock roof mounts it came with. I ordered the mounts the go under the weather stripping by the door. They were actually brackets for a 1999-06 gmc/Silverado and they are for a 52in curved bar. But 42in is what fits on my Jeep
Hood glare and dust coming up are the biggest issues with them mounted way forwards
Had one on a rack that extended up to the windshield, worthless

I picked up my A/C compressor kit yesterday. I'm dropping the Jeep off on Monday to have the A/C evacuated. I may have a much cooler ride this time next week.

Did the puddle lights tonite in my 06.
what a difference!
it was easy on the driver’s side. Passenger was a bit of struggle, mainly trying to free up that wire.
About 20 minutes snd all done.

I started the A/C compressor swap tonight. I got the old one out and found the MAP sensor was broken. It looked like it had been glued back together before. I also got a new accumulator and tube (the one that goes between the evaporator and condenser) in a kit. Well, I could not get the tube's quick connect fitting undone. I got a QD kit, and still nothing. So, I waved the white flag tonight. I got the accumulator oiled and installed, the old compressor is gone, and the open holes are plugged for the night. I will try that fitting again tomorrow, but if it isn't going to be nice, I won't be either!

The new A/C compressor has been installed. That fitting would not play nice, so I introduced it to Mr. Dremel.I very carefully used a cut-off disc and cut through the fitting's hood and spring. Then, I peeled the hood back and pulled everything off.

I dropped the heep off at the shop this morning to have it leak tested and filled. The tech said it passed with flying colors, well, I guess no colors since no dye leaked out!
I bought this thing in Nov. ‘18, and today is the first time I have been able to use the A/C. I am ecstatic!!

I was curious to see how the 04 looked vs what I pulled from the 06 / supposed 80k engine. On the 06, they replaced a few coils with no name stuff, but who’da thought, on an engine transplant, that they didn’t put a fresh set of plugs in. At least they were stock.Heck some would of ran them another 100,000 miles and continued to say it ran great !
I’m sure on the 04 at 96K that these were likely the originals. My sil bought it used about 10 years ago and did nothing but oil changes to it.

I put about 500mi on her today driving down to St. Paul and back. The A/C was on full blast the whole way down, and it didn’t skip a beat!
The dog got sick on the way home and had some liquid poo on the floor. Weathertech’s saved the day.

I don't recognize the part, but aren't green o-rings used in the A/C system and maybe power steering?

Made a trip to my favorite bone yard today.
few little bits I needed. Found a chopped engine harness and sourced 3 coil plugs. i’ve got 2 that are mashed up. Back hatch trim piece that was cracked in 2 places, a multifunction switch to try and run off my dimmer high code and an oem jack kit. 50 bucks and 2 hours out in the 90 degree heat. My bone yard guy just laughs and says - you know where they are!
