Thanks for the replies. I suspected it might be either the nose or the compressor itself.

I recently replaced my ac clutch after it went out. It was crispy and crunchy. The new clutch seems to work ok clutch does not spin when ac is off, engages quickly and quietly when ac is on and blows cold air. But after I turn on the ac in about 3 minutes I get a burning rubber smell. Everything...

Just wanted to share a recent issue I had and my trouble shooting guide with my headlights. A few nights ago while cruising down a back country road I hit a bump and the lights and speedo and most of the dash electrical components I could see flickered. The lights pulsed a little and I turned...

I took some time to give the TLC a bit of a wash yesterday and was feeling pretty good about where we were. As I was running down the road I hit a little bump and the stereo shut off and came back on. It began to happen more persistently and then last night the whole dash flickered and when it...

yes, yes it is. Good catch. It's interesting how much the right words matter, we mess with stuff all the time but then when it comes time to describe it in words, well sometimes they fail.

Since I have made pretty good headway time is now not the limiting factor and really funds are. There is some discussion here in committee about adding a roof rack and we have also talked about adding a weboost antenna as well. One thing I did find was that my idler pulley on the A/C side does...

With the suspension getting wrapped up I also had some opportunities to wrap up a couple other little projects. I had relocated my ARB compressor and had to run new lines. The old lines were not long enough so I had to buy a new line and used the rear line from before on the front and the new...

The new suspension has been installed!! I ordered the Dobinson MRA shocks with the dual rate coils front and back. I have been working with the local distributor and they have been fantastic. I ended up ordering a Dobinson adjustable front panhard and a 3" panhard lift in the rear from DVS...

The bar is fused with a 15a fuse just after the relay in the engine bay. Each positive wire off the bar is also individually fused with an inline fuse. It's really only for my four charging blocks I installed. I plan on putting a blade fuse block in the engine bay soon. For now I only have...

Oh almost forgot, when I get the TLC back I plan on taking it directly to Discount Tire to slap some 35X12.5 R17 Falken Wildpeak R/T 1's on it. Then I will try to wire the front lights (after my son welds on some light tabs) and do a deep clean. If I have time I may try to install an attic in...

More pix New rotor installed. Calipers I bought already had the bracket installed which made the passenger side much quicker once I knew that, LOL. 4X4 labs sliders. Look beefy, pretty straightforward install. Ugh, my hand is not the important thing here but it is the part in focus...

UPDATE!! I worked very hard over the weekend and got the TLC dropped off yesterday evening. Here is what I got accomplished: prepare rear frame for new bumper (grind down weld points from removed cross member) DONE install battery brackets on both batteries DONE replace blinker flasher...

Crunch Time So my son and his fiancé have a trip planned in September back to the Alpine Loop. They have strongly hinted that our family and her family need to come along just in case a spontaneous ceremony occurs. So here we go. I have it base lined and stock diffs are swapped for 4.88 with...

OK got the dobinson spring coils and MRA shocks ordered this morning. I'm going with caster correction bushings for now but plan to order the Delta VS radius arms later this year. I did get the adjustable front panhard and will be ordering the delta vs rear panhard lift. I also purchased both...

Thank you
