- In the eighth dimension
So after I flopped my Jeep, I gutted the interior to save a few bucks at the body shop. I spent the day today putting it all back together (that only took a year...)
Well because I live in So Cal, I decided to add some insulation so when I get in my Jeep after work it's not the temperature of a blast furnace.
A while back I bought some EZ Cool insulation. They use it on hot rods to keep the floorboards cool.
It went really quick. I used 3M 77 adhesive to mount it.
While I don't have any real world results I'll give you an observation....
Before installing it, I used my uncalibrated, freakishly strong, blue collar hands to check the temp. While it was about 85 degrees outside today, and the Jeep was in full sun, I could not keep my hand against the bare roof for more than 10 seconds... So I would guess it was about 110-120 degrees. After installing the EZ Cool, I could keep my hand against the material indefinitely. So I would guess it was about 80-90 degrees.
Pretty substantial I'd say. I'll find out tomorrow when I get off work.
Anyway, If you live in the desert you might want to consider this mod.
Next is window tint.

Oh, and by the way.... I used an awl. It helped me align the the holes in the sunvisor mounts...
