On Board Air

Jaydog · Dec 1, 2006

So, I have a york 210, and was looking at the mounting kits from Kilby, does anyone know of anybody else that makes brackets or kits for mounting a york on a TJ.

Kilby is the industry leader.
You can run the factory AC pump as a Compressor if you want to find the factory AC bracketry. This requires an Compressor, brackets, idler pulley, new serpentine belt. You'll need to fabricate an in-line oiler for the pump or risk a shortened pump life, and a intake air filter. Plus the assorted hi-pressure cutoff switch etc. I ran that style setup on my YJ until I did the V8 conversion and switched to York. For what it's worth, the Sanden compressors don't use an oil bath, per se, which really is what makes the Yorks so desireable. Plus the York, generally, puts out more air.

What year TJ? That makes a big differance. And the $125 they want isn't that much for what you get.

2004 without A/C, I've looked into Kilby, I just didn't know of any other company that made them.

No AC?

Last I checked, the mounting plate for no AC was $30.

I ended up building mine out of some 3/8" plate I had kicking around. But that was back when Kilby wanted a lot more for the same thing.

Here you go - $30-36.

for $30 I found it easier just to buy it from Kilby for my wife's Jeep. If she had AC would be making my own bracket.

EDIT: NM - I just saw you had a 2004.
