My Humvee gets a lot of out and about time for lots of ranch work and play
Nice truck! How does the Red Dot do with a soft top? I'm trying wondering if it's worth hooking mine up since I'm going with going with a soft top. It was low 100's heat index here today. Also if you don't mind, how do you have it mounted on the roof? Pictures and description PLEASE! : )

Neat Idea! It looks like the condenser is mounted on the roll bar out back behind the curtain.

Opinions are like other parts, but some sort of cool air on a hundred degree day has to be better than none.
Lots of folks with steel trucks report that they report in a cool and comfortable with a Red Dot AC.

Looking for one. No turret yet.

I couldn't resist the turret comment before.
Riding around in LA makes you a brave soul.

Remember, the strongest part of that truck is the bumper if things go south.

Yes stock tires with balanced at best but I have also the "liquid mercury wheel balancers" that makes a big difference.




Oh I found a picture playing in the water.

That is an interesting picture with your truck in the creek - or maybe the mudhole.
I personally wouldn't want to clean it up afterward but it sure looks like you were having a big time!

Those sure look like repackaged Centramatics at twice the price, I use the Centramatics on both of my 998s and they make a world of difference

Took the DuraVee to town and got my hair cut today, I had to use a little BTM transversing the incline at 45deg.
