AC installation

[brawndon]

So this summer heat has been killing me and my mj has no ac and I was getting quotes for about 3000 dollars at local shops for installation and I wanted to know if any of y’all have any recommendations

Best bet for any AC installation on these trucks is to sit back, read a few posts and DIY's on it until you are comfortable to do the job yourself and then source the parts. Once all sourced, install yourself and once done, have a shop vac test it and charge the system for you. In the long run, it won't cost you $3k to do it yourself.

Listen to @eaglescout526. He added a/c from scratch to his rig and has also sourced a/c systems for other members. He is the a/c and cruise control king.

Lol, cruise, yes. AC, no, I can't take all the credit for AC, learned everything I could from @Minuit and he helped answer all the questions he could that I asked. There's a good chunk of info I have learned about Renix AC that is lost with time such as R134a conversions that Chrysler offered in the 90's. But I don't know much about this other than Chrysler used what was standard valves for R134a at the time and offered kits and threes a book on it as well. There's an SJ forum or website that talks about this conversion that was offered.
