Up here in Labrador Canada we recently had it -70f. I haven't had any issues yet. Just keep the block heater plugged in over night.

We were in the negatives for the last 48 hours, its 20 now. Only ran into a few issues in my stock JKU. First, monday, I got stuck in about a 3'-4' drift. I was plowing along, and it just came out of no where, blended in with the rest of the snow. Following that, the rest of the day I had issues with making a hard right turn. I tried to clear all the snow out of there I could, but you can't do much in windchills under -40. I garaged it that night, and it thawed out and all was well.

The next problem sucks a little more.... I hit a large bump at a railroad crossing yesterday, and I just watched my back window on the soft top split in two. Now I need some duct tape and bailing wire.

It was -42 yesterday and the drifts in my driveway were 4-5' deep and my driveway is 180' long heading up hill to the road but after letting it warm up (in the garage) she plowed through it all with no problems in 4-low and I even pulled my neighbor out of a 5' ditch with unplowed roads and he was in a F-350 4X4 4-door long bed and I yanked him right out of there so I was really impressed...nothing stops a JEEP! It is a 13 RUBI with every option on 35" MTR w/Kevlar and Teraflex 3.5 lift

Had to have been with the windchill factored in?

Yes it mostly is with the wind chill but it has been just as cold without the wind. We get 6 months of winter
