Sounds like we should have a "winter prep" install party next fall and do up some really sexy 110 volt setups with GFCI's and cab heaters. Nothing like jumping into the ride in the morning and having it almost warm. You can easily get a 60 degree temp rise, which brings your cab up above zero!

So, whatever David can get me the best deal on is going to win.
Thanks for reminding me about the block heater. I may put a transmission pan heater on too, we have them on our trucks at work, and they really help!

I see you have Dueler Revo's on your JK - I have a set on my GMC, and IMO they are the best winter tire I have driven on, short of studs!
Yes......I've loved the "Revos" (no studs) this winter....can't complain a bit. Got into some fairly deep and heavy snow early this season and managed to get out on my own.....even with frozen ground underneath.
I guess the stock Duelers gave them a bad name so nobody seems to give them a second look. The Revos tho, are an entirely different critter. Funny, you just don't see JK owners buying Bridgestone much at all. Hell, the airlines like/trust them enough to put them on their jets. Just surprised I guess that more folks here don't run them on their jeeps.
