I don't have any for the Jeep and thought it couldn't too hard. Though they could be made out of a bit more forgiving material such as rope also.

Thrift Shop Winter Gear
Gearing up doesn't have to be expensive. You can score some great deals on winter gear at the thrift stores. What deals have you found?
We hit the thrift store circuit today. I had to pass up an awesome pair of wool pants that were a little too small, but I scored this 100% wool Eddie Bauer Flannel shirt for $6. New condition!
