Alaska Tent & Tarp offers an extensive line of radiator covers, known locally as winter fronts -- for cars, trucks, and heavy equipment.

These will keep the operating temperature of your engine warmer on really cold days. When the weather warms up, you can unzip it to allow more air to flow across the radiator.

Snaps make for easy installation and removal.

Winter fronts keep your operating temperature up.

Many Alaskans cover their radiators with winter fronts when the temperatures dip below zero. These covers dramatically reduce the flow of super-cooled air over the radiator and engine components.

• Our winter fronts keep your engine compartment and cab warmer.
• We provide walk-in service for most vehicles. We install snaps or other connectors to attach the front.
• We guarantee our winter fronts for the life of the vehicle we install it on. If anything goes wrong, we'll fix it or replace it.

Tips for Ordering Your Winter Front

• If you have a recent model car or truck, we can probably set you up with a winter front while you wait.
• If yours is an older vehicle, or made overseas, you might want to give us a call before bringing it in.
• You can also install your own, if you prefer. Please give us the following information so we can provide the correct size.

• Year
• Make
• Model

• Most of the winter fronts for pickup truck sized vehicles run $29.95 - $39.95 plus installation. Call us for pricing on larger vehicles.

Our winter fronts aren't the ONLY way to cover your vehicle's radiator. You could...

Take one truck, chill to -20F, add cardboard to cover the radiator and splash cold water over it to freeze it in place. This works, but is not recommended for warm garaging or mid-winter thaws!

Seriously, if you want a professional looking and effective winter front, let us outfit your vehicle with the best. Here are a few Alaska vehicles with our winter fronts installed.
