Have you got a plan for AC in that unit yet?

Not a good one. Just basic theory of Mrap or similar a/c unit I. The main body plus the new cab was pre wired and plumbed for a/c.
I haven't figured out what I need for a/c compressor bracket and compressor yet. But was going to use some of the readily available condensers and either mount behind grille or area where spare tire is getting mounted.

That will probably be a project for this fall.

Another goal over the next year will be putting in an r/v style panel and inverter so the a/c will need ability to work when plugged into rv camp site plug.

Well I made it to the weare military vehicle rally in New Hampshire. I still have a lot of fine-tuning to do on the truck but I was pretty excited to get it finished at 6 AM that morning so I could make it up yesterday.

I also like your NH tag, that's a hoot!

Unbelievable progress Jeep Nasty! Not sure if I missed it earlier in the thread, but was wondering what that back "porch" area was for?

Spare tire and crane.
