A/C condensation appears to be causing water to leak inside the cabin, via the ducts on either side of the console up front, more on the passenger side. Surely this isn't normal. Is something clogged somewhere? Condensation on the outside has decreased as well as I don't notice the water puddles being as big.

Thanks,

Jay

Actually that same thing has been happening to me and I always figured it was just one more "safari" benefit. Just like a little water fountain in the front seat.
Just kidding.

Jay,
The build up of water is most likely because the drain tubes are clogged. If you craw under the truck, yo will find on either side of the transfer case, rubber nipples. You need to "tickle" them gently to hopefully clear the clog. BECAREFUL.. mine were loaded with water and when it unclogs, the majority of it when right down my arms into my shirt so wear a crappy t-shirt or something when you try it.

Good luck

Just had the same problem, my LR connect told me they are called "tip" valves. They're just little rubber nipples. You can find them under the truck coming out of the floor of the body right about where the trans bell housing is (one on each side). Mine were covered with mud so it took a couple of minutes to find them but they are there. Just pull them out with a needle nose or your fingers if you can reach them clean them out and replace. Should cure your problem. Fixed mine.

Found them and cleaned them. Not that much gunk in there but I guess enough to stop the trickle of water. Thanks guys.
