Default How's your heater?

With the cold weather lately, and the fact that the JK may not be the best-insulated vehicle, I was wondering how everyone's heater is treating them. I know a lot of you are from some pretty cold places - I am curious what temperature it has to get to before the heater doesn't cut it anymore. Also, what supplemental systems do you use?

Mine kicks butt here in CT. Warms up real fast, even on the coldest days we've had.

My wife who is NEVER too warm asked me to turn down the heat the other day. She runs the heated seats in her Tahoe when its 80° outside.

Yea...the heaters in the JK work well.

My wife is a cold woman...all the time....

Anyway, it was 10 degrees F this morning. She said, "I love this heater, it warms up so quickly" or something like that.

I have to turn the vents off of me, too hot.

I think there is a midget with a blow torch curled up in my dash! the heater cooks me out. I can't put it past the half way mark cause it gets to hot for me and that's with 10 - 20 degree F temps
