Amazing Product
I bought this a few months ago, to get me through the dreadful winters of Illinois. I put it in my 1983 Jeep Cj7. I literally could have rode in this all winter long with the top off if I choosed. Simple installation, an great directions. Love this product.

Awesome
Replaced a leaking heater from a competitor that was the same size. This unit rocks ! It puts out about 20% more heat and is half as quiet. It is installed in a cargo tool box in a utility truck.
