JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Did you ever wonder how hot your JK heater is?

Every wonder how hot your JK's heater blows? I did.

Outside temp was 47deg and cold rain. Thats the hottest reading I got. I was shooting the vent adjusters and not down the tube.

I knew it was hot but dammmmnnnnnnn!!!

Just an FYI..........

Damn I figured it got toasty and had my windshield crack from having the JK warming up one morning.

Well that confirms it. I'm off to the dealer. Since i've owned my Jeep my heater has been my biggest complaint. How long it takes to warm up, de-fog/ice. I hear a lot of noise but not much heat or air for that matter. Anyone know what my issue could be? It sounds like the vent tube fell off under the dash or something. Not sure if that can happen but i turn it up high and hear a lot of noise but thats about it. 15 minutes later i've de-fogged.

It probably can happen, I'd think over on the passenger side. It should take about 2 min to warm up the heater to hot, and 5min to roast a turkey....
