Default Wife's feet burning up

Anyone heard of a way to route some of the heat from the floor vents in the front of the JK to the rear? The heater works awesome but my wife's feet are getting too toasty - and when momma ain't happy.....

Was thinking of trying to route some flexible tubing under the seat or something but thought I'd check with all you geniuses first.

I was thinking of doing that exact same thing! When it's -5f and your toes are still melting I'm sure we could afford to vent some air to the rer.

I've found that just using the defrost vents warms the entire Jeep up nicely and no direct heat onto the hands or feet.

As far as making a vent, I think they make some flat style dryer vents, that might work well. Route it along the center console then under the seats, might work well.

Tell her to just switch the vent to stop blowing on her feet if it's to hot.
