Aftermarket A/C

[jmylie]

Has anyone installed aftermarket a/c in a 70 series? It seems there is not much room in the passenger side for the blower etc.

Anyone have some pictures of their interior with aftwrmarket a/c?

Thanks

@joekatana posted something about this the other day...
Any interest in AC kits for lhd 7x models ?

Other than that... I have the OEM AC in the front and an aftermarket second unit roof mounted for the rear area... but i don't think that's what you're going for.

I did see joekatana's post, but $2500 for parts alone is a bit too much for me.

There are full kits for $500 on ebay and amazon.

Lol potatoes and potatos , you can install any Jeep or FJ40 or hotrod ac kit but it will look like crap and never blow out of the oem vents .

I searched a long time for these kits and it is the only way I would ever consider installing ac in a 70 , in the 20 years I am driving 70 series I haven’t seen a single decent alternative to it .

Sadly, I agree. I was hoping for a less expensive alternative.

While my wife does not like the idea of no a/c, she would not be happy with the a/c rubbing her knees either. I don't see the space to mount the under dash unit in the center.

I spent a bundle on parts and labor to get my favtory system working.
Money spent on lassting ac is money well spent.

AC done right isn’t cheap. The best way you can save money is learn to service it yourself... and buy good quality components.
