Heaters which ones work best

[ROK23AF]

Looking to get doors and a heater by next winter which are the better ones and how difficult was it to install thanks guys

Have same questions.  Many heater choices and huge price range.  A Max model must have a good heater or it will never be warm enough.  Anybody trying to use half doors work in a winter environment?

Update:  Local ATV shop owner has a Defender that he plows with.  His take on the heater issue is to get full doors first, use the machine and see if a heater is really necessary for what you are doing.  When the rad fan kicks on, the cab will warm up due to the fan and openness of the front chassis.  Unless it is brutally cold and the windshield won't stay clear, a heater may not be as important as we think.  I appreciate his input, as he does a lot of customizing and upgrades and should know what is the best use of resources (MONEY!).

I can tell you this - as someone very experienced with plowing snow: you’d be better off with a defroster and NO doors than full doors and no defroster.  Heck, I’d rather ride a quad and wear goggles than try to plow without a wiper and defroster.  It’s just a reality of snow removal.  It flies up and sticks and you go blind in an instant without support on your windshield.
