Exhaust or A/C?
I can't decide if I want to spend my money on improving my exhaust system, or to get my A/C working. They would both cost about the same. I plan on doing both, but one will have to wait untill next year.

A/C is over-rated. I'd opt the exhaust.

If you lived in Bayou South Louisiana, I bet you wouldn't even ask the question. Perspiration actually evaporates where you live.

I am leaning towards A/C, but I don't know in what way you would be "improving" your exhaust system. Assuming it is stock, there is very little you can do to make it more 4WD worthy, unless you are just looking for that V8 rumble.

Sorta. I've worked in both. Sautéed or baked? In Flagstaff though I'd go with exhaust.

My opinion - everything should work before you start 'improving' anything.
AC.

Go for the exhaust. With new exhaust you'd be driving around with the windows down anyway- listening to the nice exhaust sound!

If you have a girlfriend fix the A/C. Because if you do the exhaust you won't be able to hear it..

What's wrong with the exhaust? If it's full of holes and letting fumes into the cabin, repair the exhaust. Otherwise, no question about it, repair the A/C.
