Air Conditioning

[Buffchief]

Has anyone installed a small roof top Air conditioner like the ones on campers onto an Fj40 Roof!
If so, how did it work out? Any pictures. Wondering how the roofing would be reenforced.

Yeah....... I know. Just having a brain fart! Would like AC for the wife but not fond of what I've seen or heard of some of the other options. Not removing my heater etc.... for Vintage Air or others.

Pop the top and put a bikini on it! I daily my 45 with no A/C and this has been my summer routine.

For a passenger why not the factory style. See under the dash evaporators for sale. Then just dealing with the duct from the blower to the heater for clearance. There is also a style replaces that duct with an inline evaporator. Then it replaces the upper grill on the 9/73 plus heaters. Both still require the condenser and compressor like factory air conditioning. Advantage of the first option is the passenger gets the most cooling which might be a good thing in your case.
