Haha, seriously though, it takes a man to put up with not having A/C in 100º FL weather for over a year.
About 8 months ago, I decided to follow Josh's instructions on an R134 conversion. I took the compressor out, replaced the drier, put esther oil in the proper places, and put R134 fittings on it. I took it to my Toyota dealer for a vacuum pull, and they said they don't do retrofits. I stormed out mad (clocked out first of course
) and since it was around October, it wasn't that hot anymore and I didn't bother with it for a few months.Well now it's burning up again, and I took it to a friend's shop to see what they could do with it. Of course the system hasn't been used in a year, so now the seals from the drier were spewing air out, the fittings weren't sealing right, and the compressor was only working intermittently.
So now I think I'm going to buy a JY compressor, have it professionally rebuilt regardless of condition, put all new H/L lines on it with R134 fittings already on it (ouch
), new drier again 
, and whatever else.Until then, I'm sweating my ass off excited to get home where I have A/C that works
