Wool socks eh? Winter boots eh? Being from Canada believe it or not I have heard of these things but thanks for the helpful and not sarcastic at all tips though!! Usually I just let the back seat passengers suffer but I'm talking about a new baby. Grandma is an 8 hour drive away, last year on the drive defrost had to be on full blast to keep as much window defrosted as possible (probably going to do the PVC vent mod) and didn't dare switch it to defrost/floor and certainly not vent. Cardboard in front of the radiator only helps to keep more window defrosted. 1/4" tubing around rad hose then to windshield washer nozzles helps the vision.
Like the idea of a heater core but couldn't find a write up. I guess go to the wreckers and wing it. Probably going to do heated seat covers too.
Thanks for the ideas I gotta do something or my wife will trade my Jeep for a minivan *shudders looses sleep*

Don't let that stop you. The little heaters come with installation instructions. You'll probably be the first to install one in a JK. I've seen these in action, in cars and step vans. It's really the best way to go when it's down to the temps you see. Here's an example: Aux Heater

Used "Astrofoil" installed under carpet, gotta say it made it a lot quieter for sure. Did front and back, then installed carpets. Next step is to do the ceiling. Probably going to go with an electric aux heater (temp won't be affected by cold engine temps), will keep posting pics.
