Re: How to winter-proof TJ’s hard top
 

wow that looks perfect(hate the price though). Ok, so I followed advices above(as well as my maintenance book) - I flushed the system, but nothing changed I get enough heat to heat up my jeep only on the 3rd blower speed, so I guess if it is not common for other jeeps to have the same low "blowing power" as I have - I will check the blower. Also I think there is nothing wrong to insulate the car a little bit anyways. I mean if there are commercial products available for it, way not make it cheaper myself))

Hey that stuffs kinda cool
The price if it's CDN isn't so bad.
It whould help with sound and insulate in all weather.
Not for me though but cool non the less i think.

Re: How to winter-proof TJ’s hard top
 

The blower problem sounds to me like the problem i went threw a little while back.
The blower only blows in the high switch seting right?
It a pice called a blower resistor. You'll finde it behinde the glove box.
One screw and un plug the wire harness.
You get them at the dealer for 25 bucks or so.
Funny here is the invoice.
Part# 05139719-AA Resistor 08-035-022.

The blower runs on full 12v all the time the switch switches between resistors
to nock the power to the fan down each click.
with out it it only runs on high.aka the last seting.
testing the switch only meses with you're head cus it works just fine.

Ask the parts guy hell say we sell them all the time.
you'll have to get on you're back to look up and under the glove box.

Hope that helps:urbuddy:

Hey, I wasn't flaming you. I just didn't like the look or the price of that liner. But if the OP is cold, it is a heater issue and any amount of insulation won't fix the problem.

Instead of that pricey liner, I'd fix my heating issue first and then do something similar to this:

Hard Top Paint and Carpeting - 1

One of the best Jeep sites around BTW.

Look good. I figure poor gas mileage and cold interior are the price you pay for no top in the summer and hitting the hills

Re: How to winter-proof TJ’s hard top
 

Yes i agree.
Stue's web is awsome! He has spent so much time on it and has helped me out on all levels.

Stu is to Jeeps like God like is to Religions. I always go there first. Have a good one out there on the waste coast Rubiconmike !

On another note, I didn't really like his choice of carpet, but I liked the idea. The concept being that you don't need a removable liner, because when it comes time to remove the liner, you'll be slapping on the soft top anyways. So why not just take your permanently insulated hardtop off in the spring and slap it back on in the fall.

I'd pick nicer material than the utility carpet in Stu's writeup though. Maybe some bold '60s shag :D or some material that's a little more advanced.

ok on that write-up i didn't get why he painted the roof first? The rest looks fine,exept for the choice of color, i agree. I guess i'll do it for the next season since i dont want to remove my roof yet ))

Just don't freeze your brain in the meantime :banana:

Re: How to winter-proof TJ’s hard top
 

PROBLEM is gone!!! RUBICONMIKE you were absolutely right it was the resistor. i got the part from dealership for 24.60(btw canadian tire was more expensive - $2 to be exact). Instalation was easy but it took me like hours to do it, there is not much space there. Thanks again!
