i have heard about the wonderful driving the 5  produces ;)
The owner told me that he put a new heater core in and it blows hot...but, he also has probably never been in it in 0 deg Celsius or colder ;D

As long as the defrost does its job :o

i am packing a knapsack with WARM winter clothing :P

i am getting excited.

Thanks for the tips with tires and the 4wd function. The road reports look ok to at least the Border.

I'm pretty sure the windshields on the 5's fold down like all the others.  ;D

If you decide you dislike the Maxxis when you get back to CGY let me know, I might be interested in buying them from you

My son and I met an older vet when we went to look at a jeep he had.  We chatted for a bit, and I told him about my CJ2A...he was interested until I mentioned the soft top.

"I don't want to hear about any tops.  Real jeeps don't have tops.  After driving all over Austria, France, and Germany for three years without a top on it, in the middle of the winter....."   ;)
