Re: wrangler question
Try driving it up to Snoqualmie Pass for a weekend of skiiing, and leave it
outside during one of those Cascade Range twelve inch wet snow storms. Then
you'll see how long it takes to warm up. The positive side is of course the
ride home when you get to hit the top from the inside and surprise any
obnoxious tail gaters with a windshield full of snow.

Re: wrangler question
Depends on the flavor of Jeep for heat.
The newer YJ's and TJ's with the 4.0 fuel injected engines have decent
heat, the CJ's and older YJ's with the carb engine have crappy heat that
can be fixed with a blower motor upgrade out of a GM. Easy job.
You also can just put a hard top on in the winter, I usually do.
You cannot scrape or bang the ice off plastic windows, you have to hit
the heater on defrost and let it melt first. It does melt fast because
it is just plastic.
Your name is unusual, it can be a small world sometimes. Any relation
to the Boots that has a camp in Chivaree? <sp?>

Re: wrangler question
I live in the Seattle area, so while we don't get the coldest weather
around, we do drop below freezing. I've had no problem keeping warm
with my soft top.... the heater in my '99 does a great job. As for
scraping ice off the plastic side/rear windows, the answer is you
don't hehehehe. On my '99, the defroster kinda blows on the front side
windows as well as the windshield. I just sit there and have a smoke
while listening to the radio and wait for them to defrost. Once the
windshield and front side windows are clear, off I go (using my side
mirrors of course hehehehe). Not any different than things are in the
summer, when I have the Jeep all loaded up for a camping trip. By the
time I get half way to work, the ice has melted off the rear sides and
rear as well.

Hahahah.. I love doing that on my way to work in the mornings. Especially
when some moron is tailgaiting me in bad road conditions.
By the way, I'm in Nebraska and haven't had any problems with the soft top
(Winters have reached 0F every year I've been here. Lots of ice.). I do
have hard doors, so that might make a difference. I let it warm up for a
few minutes and go. I'm more than toasty before I make it to work (about 3
miles away). If I get stationed back home (Alaska), I'm going to buy a hard
top. With -60F every winter, there's no way I'll use just a soft top.
