I am going to be making some soon that keep the heater yet dump the heavy A/C. This comes up to about a 40Lbs savings while keeping the heater for those cold nights when that Huge winshield is fogged up and the wife is cold...although see hates the roll cage

Make your own. Its easy and gives alot of self satisfaction.
Way cheaper too.
This is an easy first project to get you on the road to fabricating your own parts.
