I guess im getting soft, but this summer I sweated my balls off in the hottest summer in years, and without A/C in the car I would have melted. I have concluded that A/C in the Scout will be almost a necessity.
Years ago I pulled a stand alone heater from a Winnebago motorhome and mounted it up under the dash where the glovebox used to be. With a soft top and hard SSII doors it was ALMOST warm enough to keep the chickies from griping, almost.
I bought a original SSII fiberglass hardtop that will be on there for the winter months along with the hard doors. In the summer with the A/C I will use the hard doors with a custom bikini top, and a custom vinyl rear cab affixed to the roll bar with velcro like the jeepers use. I figure that a more standard sized heater and a/c will cut the mustard with my new plans.
Im going to go through a copy of Street Rodder for mfgrs, and look into a combo unit. Wondering what you guys are using, or may have seen on other Scouts or similar sized rigs?
