Pretty worthless for AC since those vents only work on floor mode. The cup holder is pretty slick.

Why do I want it?

@Mabett , if you build this, people will buy and install it

Pretty cool that he's developing this; I'm sure it'll be popular.

Personally, I won't be buying this. It doesn't bother me that there's no rear vents, outside the floor ones. Plus it looks like the install would be more complicated than I'd be willing to do myself.

I'll buy and install just for my dogs. They'll love me even more.

This times a thousand. Part of the fun of owning a Bronco is ripping it to pieces to make it better. I may be doing my build kinda slow but damnit I'm doing it with my hands, my tools and my money.

This is what you call unfortunate, but very true. You will have to use bi-level face/ floor…that just doesn’t sound good bi-level…it’s an old General Motors thing.

Anyway you won’t get much air out of them in face/floor and if you put it to floor well you get cold feet up front, light cool breeze in the rear. You would need to rework the blend doors and programming. I would hold off for mid cycle refresh. Not trying to be a Debbie downer, I just don’t think anyone understands the importance of ksjrb03’s post.

Any news on the Mabett rear A/C vent?

 

[Ru4Scuba]

following this b/c I would be interested

If you all can manage this with an in line booster / fan it would work well for the kids in the back.

We need rear door inserts. They have them for the front doors. Anyone who got them for the front would buy a set for the rear.

Tell @Mabett you want those.

@Mabett cannot wait to see progress on these

The blend doors actually don't increase the flow to the rears, there is about 80% of the path to the rear floor vents blocked by plastic inside the channel by design. If you're absolutely insane like me you can get in there with a grinder and clean it out.
