rear heat?

ok so my burb has rear ac but not heat did square bodies have optional rear heat or could i add a rear heater with some realative ease. the burb is so big and takes forever to heat in these cold winters and when you got a kid griping about how cold the back seat is.

Re: rear heat?

Google 'jeep auxiliary heater'. One of those is probably your best bet. Or at least the easiest way out, both purchase price and installation. I don't have a clue how well they work, but for the price, can't hurt to try. You could probably find some online reviews to steer you to the better models.

There was a rear heat option. Growing up, we had a diesel 4x4 Suburban. You could let it idle all day with both heaters on and it would drive you out of the truck when you got back in.

True. They were optional/over the counter jobs for Blazers and Subs. Came with about 10 miles of heater hose! I have one in the box still somewhere.
I'll see if I can find it and snap a photo of it.
And for the mods, not an offer to sell post.
