Here are the pictures of my Gator after I got it and put all the extras on myself , picked it up from the dealer bare bones . Did the floor boards and box with Raptor bed liner . After Winter started I put in a Maradyne after market heater to save the glove box space.

Welcome to the forum,
I was interested in that heater as well, was the installation fairly easy and did you also install the window defrost kit?

thanks the full cab sure makes it nice . don't like the suicide doors too much and they need to come up with a large enough opening window on doors, if you get stuck in a deep rut you may not beable to get outof the cab especially if you 're by yourself. Guess I'll have to reinvent that. Nate

I think I messed up on one of the replies, think I deleted what I wrote earlier. The Heater is a (Maradyne heater) and got it for just over $200.00 from E-bay. some of the other parts I got from ( Nostalgic air parts ) nostalgicairparts.com can give you the part #s if interested. the steel tubing I fabricated tooling to bead and bend it to fit perfect on floor .( Made up some extras if anyone is interested.) I also got the the instructions from the dealer on running the coolant lines from engine compartment . Heater set up cost me a lot less than the dealer set up and i still have the glove box space . fabricated the gaurds after installing the steel lines . Nate
