Portable AC installation

Here's the issue. I need AC pretty much year round in my truck for 12 hours a day while at work. I don't want to idle for that much as I've had another truck eat a lifter from excess idling. I've seen other guys in full size trucks use a portable stand up AC unit like this

My question is how hard is it to remove the cover on the back wall of the cab? Has any done something similar? Have photos of setup? Tips and tricks to pass along?

 

How are you going to power this? Is there always a power outlet where you park?

3rd gen Tacoma's have a sliding back window. If using this type of AC unit you'd most likely want to make a custom insert that covers the window opening and has 2 holes for the AC intake and supply hoses.

 

No sliding back glass though

 

What are u doing for power supply if running off the truck . It won’t push this voltage with the truck in accessory mode don’t think it will do it with it on either . .

Make a small custom insert that will fit the passenger window for the intake and supply piping.

 

Hoping to make something I don't have to put up and take down everyday to drive unless necessary

 

If it's designed/created properly it could be simple to roll down a window and insert. Your other options involve large holes in the cab which will impact resale and may not be any more convenient.

 

I gotta ask; why does the cab of your truck need to be kept cool while you are at work?
Just curious, sounds interesting
As far as exhausting the heat, maybe make a composite window insert that can be popped in and out.

 

I'm in the oilfield out of 12 hours on site I'm sitting in it for 10 on average.
