Title: defroster
Post by: gmcjr on December 22, 2012, 01:11:54 PM: Yall may laugh, but after seeing a ï¿½picture of a jeep defroster awhile back, I just had to make one for myself.(I know you can buy one, but I'm a scrounger...uhh err i mean tight wad [smiley=shocked.gif]) It has the added bonus of keeping the wife more comfortable. The more comfortable she is, ï¿½the more jeep adventures she wants to go on ï¿½;) ;)

This might be of interest too. I made some mods to my heater to get the defroster working better.
