    AC install on 923A2

    I installed the side bracket on the back of the condenser, after many blows with a hammer to make it conform to the shape needed. Set it on the tool box (after removing jerry can holder) mark holes and drill. Drill pilot holes in front for bolts. Set in place and cuss and sweat a lot and just...

    AC install on 923A2

    Cut a piece of angle as wide as the feet on the AC. Cutout for the two condensation lines. Put it firmly in Place, hold with vice grips while I mark holes. Drill all holes in angle iron. Paint - quick dry. Bolt angle to feet tighten bolts. Then drill through holes that mount to surface...

    AC install on 923A2

    To be honest, I'm not wild about the placement, but it can't go lower, I have my battery shutoff, if I went higher, it would be up by my head. Meh ... I guess it's ok where it is. I guess I don't like how big it is. I guess I'll get over it when I feel the "cool air of freedom to drive whenever...

    AC install on 923A2

    The board I mounted on the back wall was full of electronics. 24>12v converters and fuse panels module for backup camera, junction box etc. it was kind of junky and overkill, but we were in a pinch to leave Idaho and there was a fridge covering all of it anyway. So, I pulled all of the stuff off...

    AC install on 923A2

    Ok, back to work. I opted to use the hanger brackets in the kit. I cut a piece of 4"x3/16 flat at 20". Which left 2.5" to play with (1.25" on each side). I screwed it to the top piece of the cabs lower frame with two 1/2" grade 8 washers as spacers (which worked out about perfectly.)

    AC install on 923A2

    You prompted me to clean it all up. Well, actually, I set my yellow drill on the workbench and spent the next 10 minutes looking for it. There. Now that one spot in the middle is all clean and freshly painted! There are three 16.00R20's in there. It's amazing how much room a little ol tire...

    AC install on 923A2

    well, here is a better view of the madness that I call a garage. This is just "bay 1" The problem is I took on a huge project just before I got 5 ton fever. So, "not pictured" there is an adventure trailer build going on, there are a few new 16.00's some HEMTT rims, a pile of tarps and bows from...

    Well, let's see, I lost your brackets in my garage, so you know it's full of stuff!

    AC install on 923A2

    I have been tinkering with mounting ideas. There are numerous parts that come with the kit to mount to any configuration of Humvee. I take pieces of steel and put it here and there. Places it's not designed to go. And I came up with this. All I need to do is drill 2 holes in the back of the...

    AC install on 923A2

    Thanks Fuzzy, I think the one in the kit will be ok. It will fit nicely on top of the tool box, get plenty of airflow, and should be an easy install. If I was putting a kit together, I'd probably take you up on that though.

    AC install on 923A2

    The Hummer AC kits are for V-belt application. Good for A1/0 install. Not so perfect for A2. So, I found a couple serpentine belt 24v compressors online for about $120 each. Sold my red dot compressors.

    AC install on 923A2

    The 1/2" bolts that held the side plates on we're torqued to approximately a zillion ft-lbs. get a pipe and a friend or two. Don't slip and hurt the fins or copper tubing!!!

    AC install on 923A2

    First step, take all the sides off the condenser. I'm going to mount mine on the passenger side tool box like Over did. Except I may make my braces a little different. When I took the electrical boxes off the frame, I left them attached to the piece of metal. Don't follow the instructions and...

    AC install on 923A2

    First off, want to thank "Over" for his detailed AC install on his Non-A2. You can find it here. He saved me some trouble by figuring out problems before I had to! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?125575-M923-air-conditioning-a-c-install-project Thanks to 74M35A2 for his "A2...

    923A2 Cab makeover - new seats!

    I bet! I have 3 unmounted and 4 mounted on MRAP wheels. You can't budge the ones mounted on wheels. The ones I bought are brand new. 4 were mounted on rims but never on a truck. All of them have whiskers on the center lugs still, those wear off within 20 miles or so. I'm happy with the tires...

    923A2 Cab makeover - new seats!

    I just bought a gallon of Monstaliner to spray the cab. I removed the seat and batteries yesterday and I built a center console for it. (Not installed yet) At the moment, it sits with an empty cab, waiting on me to do something. I'm still really debating getting a stall mat and doing exactly...

    Someone borrowed my airless and seized it up. That happens when you don't bother to clean it after you use it :(
