When I drive my CUCV in winter I wear clothing like I am going to be outside. My kids had a rear heater in the M1009 when they were growing up. I removed all the insulation from the firewall and the floors are bare in all my vehicles. Line X only. They are not saunas in the winter. They make it comfortable at best. As long as the windows get clear I am happy. I just drove my Mule 1,200 miles in 3 days and it was cold the first day. The second day I dressed for it and the third day I was out of the cold back up in the 60's again. I am making an arctic front from parts for both my M1009's that I drive. But I still like my new truck best. Sauna or ice box at your finger tips.
View attachment 595381This was last years winter front I made from spare parts. It was the best one to date. I left it attached to the brush guard and hung it in my barn. I like it that much I want to look at it for years to come. The paint was that nice on the bumpers and brush guard I did not want to sand and repaint over it. i will use them on an up coming project I am sure. I am going to be wiring my Crown of Thorns with Christmas lights again this year. I missed last year because of medical reasons.
