Default anyone use auxillary heater??

Hi, Ive been looking at the mojave auxillary heater that uses your engine coolant to heat the vehicle. I was just wondering how you would hook it up in conjunction with your normal heater?? I finally got the heat working good for up front but was told the back seat is still cold so was thinking i would use this?? THe worry i have is how would i hook it up without robbing the heater core of hot coolant, I know jeeps are natorius for low performance of heat so i dont want to make it worse. I've found some electric ones but worried about it taxing my alternator/battery since its stock.. Any advise??

I'm interested in the Mojave too, and at one point I posted a thread asking if the water pump would be able to handle pumping coolant to the back if I wanted to put it back there. As long as your heater hoses are in good shape everything should work fine. The stock pump will handle it, you'll just need a little more coolant.
