If the US worried about what anyone thought, you'd be speaking German, you dumb
----.

Your "friend" was smart enough to get rid of a 6 year old Jeep before he had to
spend money to keep it going. All he needed was a moron to sell it to. Then
along comes "lemonowner". LOL

Did your "friend" kiss you as well?

Ok.. step by step.

1) AC. the accumulator doesn't just blow, Mechanical failure is always
a possibility but those are high pressure vessels. They can be overfilled
and the sensor switch can leak. Some had a recall for failure but not your
model year.
http://members.***.net/wilsond/Fixes...essure-low.jpg
Your AC is suffering badly. I'm wondering if it was severely overcharged
or someone put too much oil in the system. The evaporator coil (inside coil)
is difficult to service. I'm leaning toward a severe over-pressure caused by
too much oil or refrigerant in the system.


2) Exhaust header. Oh yes... miserable piece of "crapsmanship" if ever
there was one. The all break. Replaced mine with a Banks header.
http://members.***.net/douglas.wilson/banks/

3) Nylock nuts.. on an exhaust header! Now that is just incompetence in
action. Stainless steel with antiseize is the way to go.

4) Pads and calipers.... Pads and rotor I would believe, but not the
caliper unless the pad ripped out and the piston got eaten. But even then
the piston can be replaced, all depends on the amount of damage done.
I went with Stillen rotors and Performance Friction pads. Replacing only
the pads and rotor takes all of an hour and can be done with minimal tools.

5) Battery... sometimes they do that. You need to make sure all the connections
are clean and free of corrosion. Also make sure the battery is properly filled
and the electrolyte is at the proper strength. Have someone check the charging
system unless you can do it yourself.
