Where I work we've got entire AC kits for your car. Are you sure you dont need the compressor as well?

If you've got the 4.0 engine, this is what you need:

Shit, at that price you might as well just replace everything.

Its not that easy of a job... To make sure everything's done right, might want to see about a repair manual or something.

all you have to do to recharge the AC is to buy a R134a hose w/ gauge that clamps into the port in the passenger side of the engine bay. There'll be a fitting w/ a black cap. This hose has a gauge on it and you use that to monitor how much freon you put in.

I JUST did this about 15 min. ago to my next door neighbors 99' Ford Explorer V8 LOL. There should be a yellow sticker saying how much freon it takes. In this case his took 1 lb 14 oz, or 30 oz of freon.

So he'll need about 2.5 12 oz cans for the job. It was already blowing colder when i put 2 cans in so I think I did it right.
