While in Alaska from 1988 to 1991, I could put the hood and grille covers to great utilize. The set that I discovered, somebody had sewn them together so you couldn't open the hood with the spreads appended. Wasn't generally an issue. Kid, did these spreads function admirably. Amid the cruel Alaska winters it was nothing for the temperature to plunge underneath - 45F. With the spreads connected and the radiator fold shut the Jeep's motor remained warm yet never excessively hot. I additionally had a warmer introduced and that kept within the jeep to a fair condition.

Later I could discover a WW2 radiator (part WO-A-11839) intended for the Jeep. This radiator mounts over the driver's feet! Beyond any doubt keeps your feet decent and warm and is really powerful even at - 45F. Obviously, I was legitimately dressed with an Air Force issued parka, bunny pants and mukluks (boots). In the event that the climate is less serious, don't attempt to drive your jeep with sneakers on- - your shoes will liquefy!
