Block off a couple of the grill openings for her. It makes a world of difference. The 4.0L Jeeps take forever to fully warm-up with the cooling setups they have. If your worried about her not watching it I had 4 blocked off most of the summer(up to the 90's around here). She'll enjoy the extra fast heat.
