6x6 bigfoot heater

[Kfactor]

How are u guys heating your Argo cabs I mostly use my Argo in winter for ice fishing and want to heat the cab to take the chill off . I have a 12v heater right now but it sucks lol just looking for ideas .

If it’s liquid cooled you can plumb some lines from the engine to a heater core. Did that on my Max.

No it just air cooled

I have seen where someone removed or cut out the cup holders (if you have them) and installed small 12v fans to draw in engine heat.
Seems like a good idea!

You can allways find an old volkswagon bug heater they are gas fired

Well just doing an experiment I bent up some copper pipe and got a small rad and 12v hot water pump with 12v fan and going to try and make one and see how it goes .

All post more pics as I go I hope it works if not it was worth the shot

Tinkering is fun if you have the time and sometimes you actually get something that works, somewhat!

That is a cool idea, looks as if it should work.

I would add a small expansion tank. lots of metal catch tanks on Ebay you can use.

Here is the pic of the Mock-up it seems to be working good so far I gave it a bench run lastnight . I think I will add in a expansion Tank just need to find room for it .

A lot of work for a little heat! I would just wear warmer clothes...

[tbone9]

Great idea. Yes some kind of tank with a radiator cap would be good. I love having heat in my rig along with a fan blowing at The windshield to defrost it and keeps it from fogging up also. Keep us posted.

That's thinking outside the box!
I've never seen a set up like that. It looks promising. I guess if it didn't get warm enough, you could cover the whole muffler with coils.

Yea it’s a lot of work but here in sask she gets pretty cold I go ice fishing with my Argo me some days are around -30 plus wind chill lol . I’m not looking to have a really hot heated can just like tbone said to keep window clear and to take the chill off
