Im pretty sure it has coils in the front, the same as the 2 wheel drive does, but Ill be honest, i havent really looked lately and am not to worried about it either way. Would be nice if it was leafs, but Ill take what i find for cheap and make it work i guess haha.

As for the lack of a warm place to work, I hear ya. Working in my unheated garage without a door and still a dirt floor. Not much fun, but at least it's out of the wind and snow.

Little off topic but not too far off - why don't you drop an insulated tarp down, and fire up a contractors heater, (tubular style one). I help a friend who owns an overheard door business, and we've been using that system far for the past 3 winters up here, when installing garage doors. Toasty, and cheap, about $200 for the heater,and they sure kick out the heat. We worked in T-shirts all last week when it was -40 something!

The tarp thing would work, but I'll just go at it slowly (or not) as time and weather permit.

Ive been thinking about doing a similar thing in the portable garage I have out here.

Thats the womans shed for the boat though, so i might get killed trying to leave her boat out in the snow!

I'm going to temporarily pull the sailboat out of the barn and put the truck in there. TODAY! no heat, but there's a concrete floor and walls and a roof. Again, no door, but you can't have everything. I'll try to remember to get some pics today.

Ask Santa for a tarp and Heater, that is if you think you have been good enough!

I've got Santa's ear, as I live so much closer to him than any of you! So I will put in a good word for tarps and heaters, and mention that someone else shud get a large lump of coal!
