Winter and Window Covers -Shoutout to FrostBlocker!

[86_FX4]

The lady gave me an older "frostblocker" window cover for this upcoming winter weather, seeing as my Ranger sits outside. I assume she got it at Costco.. I thought it was somewhat gimmicky, but honestly it works awesome. I also have a sunscreen that is reverse-sided, silver for summer and black for winter that seems to help somewhat, but the frostblocker makes a HUGE difference.

It fits the Ranger better than any other vehicle we have, and is super quick to setup. I don't know the exact model since they don't seem to have an official website, but It has saved me a ton of frozen hands and scraping. The side mirror covers seem lightweight but they make a world of difference. I feel almost spoiled going out in the morning weather it's frosty, snowy or icy and I can just start the truck, pop off the layers in a min, toss in the bed to dry out and go on my way. Just sharing the experience!

Have similar for the Ranger and DW's Prius. Especially handy when we get freezing rain

I've taken to keeping a quart spray bottle of 91% alcohol hooked into a bed stake pocket. It only takes a few quick sprays to hit the windows and side mirrors. Instant melting action on ice coating.

I have something similar for my trucks. Those things have made windshield clearing a lot nicer. Both of them are probably due for replacement soon. I've had them a number of years and the one for the 2011 has certainly seen better days.
