buggy/auxillary heater

if you mount it between the seats, you can modify the 4runner console to fit to gain some extra storage. Also forgot to mention that if you modify the outlet duct with a little plastic welding it can greatly expand the mounting possibilities. Once you hold one and look at it, you can see how easy it is to find a good place for it. The last truck we did was a gutted toy p/u,we were able to fit it on the cab side of the fire wall under the cage bars. The blower will suprise you with the amount of air it moves on high.

I've got the same one in the rear of my rig, out of an '88 'runner. The kid throws a blanket over herself and the heater and stays nice and toasty. Happy kids make for happy 'wheelin'.

when you call the junk yard what do you ask for??

Rear heat blower assembly.(best are 90-94) Be sure to pull it all together. P-N-P in hebron just considers it a blower motor and charges you as such. Depending where you get it, others may try to charge you for the heater core as well. If you pull it all together, and leave the covers on it, just looks like a big blower unit. out of sight out of mind kinda thing i guess. i figure even if they were to charge $50, still far cheaper than the aftermarket options out there.

one of my uncles good friends own a junk yard so im sure i can get a good deal on one..but where do you mount it and how do you mount it???

best place if you have the room is between the seats with the ducts blowing at your feet. The bottom of the unit is curved to mount on the tranny tunnel. Once you have one in your hands you'll see its pretty easy. I used some 1/2" id(5/8"od) soft copper tube wrapped in foam insulation and duct tape tucked tight to the body to plumb the coolant lines. Been that way for about a year or so and have not had any issues.
