V8E3: A Warm Welcome Home

The Jeep is back! In this episode, I highlight the Webasto Air Top 2000 STC heater install by OK4WD. After playing with the new heater, I take a few days to do some house cleaning, make my own minor improvements, shuffle some gear around, and then I settle back into the Jeep for the long haul. Westbound, my first stop is the snow-covered Allegheny National Forest. The week concludes in northwestern Pennsylvania near the town of Warren.

    I think the heater and the aux fuel system are the best mods you have done given the primary use of your jeep. The winch is invaluable considering your on your own in remote areas. I envy your lifestyle and freedom Chris, you have attained what many of us only dream about. We live vicariously through you, thank you.

    Great to see you back in the orange JK. That Webasto heater is quite impressive and surely makes for greater comfort on those cold winter nights. The $85+ refuel at Love's sort of changes my mind about trading up from my Jeep Compass to a JK. My most expensive refuel in 2 1/2 years has been $32 with average being $28. Being retired keeps me on a strict budget but we splurge on dining out, something my wife loves to do...oh well, happy wife happy life as the saying goes.
