Air conditioning in an LJ70 (4 Viewers)

[joekatana]

Hi,
I'd be interested in buying and installing one of these kits in my '93 LJ70 with 1KZ-T swap. Are they still available? Where could I get them in Europe? Any information would be much appreciated.

I can order the kit for you in Europe , current delivery time is at least 12 weeks though.

Yup and that is with me ordering a minimum of 10 kits at a time , industrial company that used to make these in the past for dealers but now on special order only hence the wait time , I do have 10 kits arriving in the US later this week though.......that where ordered in December 2020 !

It's also very useful during fall and winter when you get fogged windows.

Yes these are brand new for left hand drive 70 series and bolt on applictaions for the 2L/T and 1HZ engines in both 12 and 24v , if you have a different engine the bracket to mount the compressor to the engine is gonna be a diy project.

Hey Joe,

Curious what makes these LHD specific? And why there are no RHD specific kits available? Figure most of these rigs were RHD configuration.

The interior parts of the system are basically a mirror image of each other in the two configurations. That's because you need pedals to operate the vehicle rather than an evaporator box at your feet. So the hoses are different on LHD vs RHD installs, which means the pipework on the condenser may be different (aftermarket units may be universal fit if you can turn them upside down).

I guess what im trying to get at is, are there just one or two parts i could try and source from an overseas wrecker and then use the rest of this kit to take me the rest of the way?

Because most of the JDM cruisers came with ac standard , in many lhd regions it was always a option.

The underdash evap is lhd or rhd specific all the other parts would be the same.

This kit is not compatible with oem components.
