[QUOTE="island hopper, post: 435464, member: 20411"] I'm in Kingwood area, North of Houston. The a/c adds value and is there when I need it. Like you, and most Jeep owners, "free" air conditioning is the norm. I decided to do a few additional things before I put the a/c in. I took the steering wheel off to address a sticky ignition and the missing column gear indicator. I also removed the seats and carpet to deal with the surface rust on the floorboard and around the bottom of the rear pillars. Nothing bad, just decided to take care of it and repaint the interior tub. Installing the a/c will be much easier with everything out and no steering wheel. I also took all the floor plugs out and will replace them. Every bolt is being cleaned and refurbished also. I degreased and steamed the engine so that its more tidy and less messy to work on. Everything seems nice and dry and having a clean bay will alert me to any issues. It's much nicer to not have any mechanical/transmission issues to deal with and having a solid body is a blessing as well. I also have a 1972 Datsun 240Z and 87, Porsche 928 S4 that are pretty much stock and I drive them a lot, weather permitting. Texas is nice but I lived in Hawaii for 7 years and Southern California also and got spoiled. [/QUOTE]
