tiltonb Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I bought a small pickup unit that I am going to install. The only place I can see that it will fit is in place of the glove box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeep Driver Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 You still have to mount a compressor and run hoses. Don't see the point in this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiltonb Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 I bought the entire system. I didn't know the factory systems were available, so i bought one that was recommended for the Comanche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way easier to get the dash controls and evaporator from any XJ/MJ and go from there. Whoever recommended that for a Comanche probably doesn't know what one is. Honestly I think that's the one that's recommended for FSJs, I believe my buddy Rooney is using one in his... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be hack to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiltonb Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 4.0 six Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, maybe, the 4.0 HO stuff is now much more common and it uses a different mounting bracket for the compressor. I'd just get the HO bracket. You can buy a new evaporator, condenser, and drier/accumulator for cheap off Rockauto or whatever, or roll the dice on used stuff working (the drier should not be reused either way). Failing a junkyard, find somebody parting out an XJ, guys do it all the time because they can make a few bucks between parts and scrap, offer to buy the whole A/C, brackets, and dash out of it. I've never swapped A/C in so I don't really know how different anything is in the HVAC system. You may need the plenum that the evaporator goes in too along with the heater core, as I believe they're different part numbers.. One way or another the whole dash is basically coming out. So better to get more parts than less and compare as you swap things over. If you were local I could have just given you basically a whole setup from deleting it out of my trail XJ.

tiltonb Posted July 20, 2019 Author Share Posted July 20, 2019 I got the system installed and charged. Today was my first trip to work and back. The temperature was 107 when I clocked out from work. I had that sucker turned all the way up. I'm sure glad it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
