Hi Gang,

I finished "summerizing" the Scrambler. Removed the soft top, installed the half hardtop, switched out the under dash A/C unit from the original black to a limited blue (to match my interior) and recharged the A/C system. It is blowing 39 degrees with an outside temperature of 91 today. Here are a few pictures:

We leave for NC on July 12th so I will get a chance to feel Arizona heat and NC heat back to back :-)

They're definitely not the same. I completely forgot how bad a humid heat can be. It hit 95 today here in eastern KS, and I'd much rather be back in CO at 95*. That and the bugs. Bugs, everywhere!!!
 
Ya. I heard that the state bird of North Carolina is the mosquito. On a positive note, with the half hardtop on the scrambler, the A/C keeps the cab so cold that I need to turn it down even when it is 110 out. Hopefully I won't feel the humidity while driving. :-)
 
AC belt. When it broke, it threw the alternator belt. Amazingly, the alternator belt was not damaged.
 
Good to hear, Amigo..!! Cant wait to get mine in..!! Unfortunately, I noticed the oil leak I am seeing is my dipstick where it comes outta the block.. So that, that coolant leak on other side, and putting on my hedmann headers will be taking priority next week when we get back.. Besides me still having to source what is still missing to have a working A/C
 
Now you got me thinking about putting a/c in mine. The 4.0 we transplanted has the compressor. I just need the other stuff. But then I have found here in Chattanooga, they think 88 is hot! And we only have a few days in the mid to upper 90s'. May not be worth it, but it sure looks nice in your '8.
 
The A/C in my tan scrambler freezes me out with the full soft top on. It gets so cold I have to turn it off. Not sure how well it does cooling the back. I'll be removing the full soft top soon and putting the half hard top back on.
 
So where in NC are you headed? Mid July the temperature and humidity should be well into the 90's. Small dog's should be tied to something so the skeeters can't make off with them. I'm thinking about buying stock in deep Woods Off.
 
I will be teaching at UNC Pembroke. I have heard of Mosquitos, but I do not believe I have ever seen one. :-)
