buggy/auxillary heater
As many of us have started a truck or truggy build with a stripped cab, often times most of the original dash/ducting/heater core and other associated pieces are gone. No big deal unless you like to do some winter wheelin. An easy way to add some heat is to use a rear seat heat unit from a 90-95 4runner. Other years of runners had the rear heat also, but these years used a all-in-one set up that packaged a small heater core, 2 spd blower, temp control, and ducting to route air. Simply run the two coolant lines, supply power to the blower and you have great heat. While it is small, it puts out a great amount of heat. It works out great, as you can face the rear of it forward to blow the heat at your feet when mounted btween the seats on the tunnel. I have friends running them now as the only heat in the rig(cj7,sami,2 toys, plus myself) and they love it. Another has added it as rear heat in a older cherokee and it heats really well. makes a great hand warmer in open rigs as well. Here are a few pics of one to show the coolant line location, heater core, heat control lever, and fan. Blower switch is center off/lo/hi
overall dim 15"Lx8"Hx5"W Wiring for fan: Green wire(12ga) + yellow/green stripe -ground blk/wht - not used Most pull-n-pays will sell the whole setup for $25.00, as a blower motor. Hope this helps somebody. Happy winter wheelin!!
