The jeep hasn't had working AC for over 17 years. This kit got the AC working awesome. All brand new parts in the kit. You will need to clean the evaporator core with solvent or buy a new one( I bought a new one from summit racing).
I am a jeep enthusiast. I own a lot of jeeps, but I love this Wagoneer, it's amazing. Turns heads ever I go. ive put 1000s of hours into this beauty.
I just couldn't drive it in the summer with no AC here in the mountains of California. It was miserable.
Jeepair.com has been super responsive to emails for questions on the kit , the price is amazing on this kit. I don't think I could source the parts for this price. Having AC in a vintage jeep is priceless.
You will need to buy . Jeep air sent me this kit for free to install and review .
