Cool! Look forward to seeing your set up when u get it cleaned up.

@Skjerv40 did you have much room left over after you mounted the heater under the Drivers Seat?
JEGS has 2 kits:
28K BTU with 260 CFM & 2 vents. The size is 6.5" Tall by 9.5" Wide. $202.51
JEGS 70601K: Heater and Duct Kit | JEGS
40K BTU with 300 CFM & 3 vents. The size is 7" Tall by 16" Wide. $234.03
JEGS 70602K: Heater and Duct Kit | JEGS
I have the Honda Soft doors and they don't seal the best, so I'm thinking the 40K BTU would be nice. But I'm not sure if I can fit it under the seat OR if 40K BTU would be too much. I'm going to measure when I get home, but didn't know if you could remember how big the area is.
For an extra $30, the extra 12K BTU is tempting.

There was plenty of room in there especially vertically but the tricky thing is to find enough space for both your heater hoses and the vent tubing to work their way out. Mine works really well but it takes a long time to warm up the anti-freeze. I’m dealing with some near zero temperatures right now and I don’t know if those extra BTUs are going to matter if there’s not enough heat in the coolant. I’m no engine expert but that smaller than a truck exposed aluminum Engine probably is not creating the heat that a big truck engine would. Correct me if I’m wrong and I’m hope I’m making sense.

I just saw the dimensions. No way that bigger one fits.

That’s what I was thinking when I seen it.
The smaller one is like the summit just comes with some hoses

I mounted the maradyne heater under the hood. gates makes some molded hose to help with routing. a put a defrost vent pointing down at passenger feet with one outlet and with a ‘Y’ ran one hose to each cup holder from the other outlet...modified the cup holders to accept the $15 vents from vintage air.

Yes, makes sense. Have you thought about putting a piece of cardboard or something to lower airflow through the radiator to help it warm up quicker? If its that cold out, I wouldn't think you would have to worry about it over heating the engine, but it might help with cab heat.

I didn't figure it would, especially after looking at mine and measuring dims. I going to order the 28K while they still have the Cyber week discount sale going.
Thanks for your help and advice!!

If you have an auto parts store near by they typically have a Gates tackle box full of misc coolant hose fittings. You can get a T fitting out of there. I live in a fairly small town and even my hardware store had them. You can go from 1/2" up to 5/8" then T your lines from the 5/8" (that way you don't have to find a 1/2" x 5/8 x5/8) and install shut off valves in the 5/8" line.

Have you purchased the CEC cab enclosure yet? I purchased one last fall and was used for one trip to South Dakota then traded for a Honda Talon this spring. It is like new less instructions and snaps installed on the Pioneer. If interested let me know'

I did buy it last year. Sorry.
It should be easy to sell on here though.
I hope to buy a Talon once the P1K5 is paid off. We will be keeping the pioneer though. Hopefully they release a live valve 2 seater soon.
