What's this? (x2)
I guess maybe I’ll try hertz, they install hitches. I think that I need to physically try to see if there are any clearance issues. Other than that I might have to ditch the glide out carrier for the standard model. Thanks- Finkaire

Ac compressor
When retrofitting to r134a you will need to use Ester oil, PAG oil is a corrosive and will take out your evaporator. You will also need to replace the accumulator.
