No: just have a vacuum pulled and charge the system.
changing the drier is like changing a fuel filter

My rear door was hard to close. I sprayed PB Blaster on the hinges and cycled the door back and forth, sprayed again and cycled the door. Repeated this step a bunch more times. There was a lot of rust/PB Blaster mix oozing out of the bottom of the hinge.

The door very easy to close. A lot less resistance then before.

Had the same issue with the rear door. It was also plenty cruddy on the slider mechanism the door check.

On topic:
Finally got around to replacing the front output flange on the xfercase. Easy as pie. Also replaced the seal on the rear output flange. Park brake drum was full of really clean 75/90 gear oil. So far I think it has eliminated my persist and vibration. I think I still have a very minor one in the steering wheel.. that's gotta be tires as I also noticed horribly in even wear.

Thinking of doing a minor lift as well being that 1 front spring is broken. Suggestions for tires and lift would be appreciated.

Completed install of the Terra Firma 2" lift, diff guards and rear fuel tank guards last week.

Currently working on custom bumper for the Badlands 12K winch. Will post more pics when completed.

New bumper and winch installed, very happy with the setup. Will be cutting the sheet of aluminum I picked up for the new skid plate.

It's a Disco 1 Safari Gard that was rotting away in my coworker's barn. Had it blasted and powdercoated. The skid literally fell off when I was taking it apart...
