I have a roll of that heat insulation would it benifit to get spray adhesive and cover thebottom of the carpet with the heat insulation you think?
Does anybody know if bed tred is as good/bad as bed rug as far as heat transfer goes?
I'm also thinking of painting the top (only) of the outside of my hard top with white RV roof coating - similar to the white tops seen on school buses - the radiant heat coming in from the Florida sun is ginormous!
True that - I think school buses in California were the very LAST to adopt the idea. At least where I lived.That definitely helps but school buses are just copying off pre-AC days. Why it took so long I will never know.

Maybe I should get off my tail and contact them directly. I really don't like carpet, but I also believe Jerry!From what i have gathered, it is the same thing, fabric surface vs bedline like. Unfortunately they dont list thickness for the interior.
They do say their truck bed mats are 3/4" thick, it would be really sweet if that was the case for the interior
Lowered my under the hood temp and seemed to lower temp everywher. CEL finally cleared as well. Ancient catalytic converters run hotter than fresh ones. Better flow = lower temp. V-Twins guys experience this close up.The exhaust was a noticeable change? I have wanted to get a exhaust done at a shop but always have a hard time justifying “just sound” in my head.
Absolutely, im am definitely considering to put it under the center console, but dont know if its durable enough to cover all foot area.
Over time carpet will be shifting around, fine sand/dirt will accumulate under the carpet and give it effect of a sand paper. My Jeep collects water in that area after rain or deep water crossings. Something to keep in mind
Mine is bedlined right now. It’s nice to be able to spray it down. But seriously I can’t even drive barefoot it gets so hot it burns me.I'm still noodling on what I want to do. I really want bed liner, but the heat transfer issue kind of rules that out here in Florida. I'm leaning towards bed tred and adding a little bit of heat insulation over the transmission tunnel and cats - I can't abide carpet in a truck/Jeep. Then adding "hot head" or similar to the underside of the hard top and painting the top of same white as I mentioned before. Noise doesn't concern me, in fact I rather enjoy the visceral experience.
Yea, that's the universal consensus and why I'm looking for a non-carpet alternative.Mine is bedlined right now. It’s nice to be able to spray it down. But seriously I can’t even drive barefoot it gets so hot it burns me.

I'm not crazy about the carpet in the jeep either. Specially where I live where mold grows like crazy.Maybe I should get off my tail and contact them directly. I really don't like carpet, but I also believe Jerry!

I am going to be using this heat shield on the underside on the front and back side of the catalytic converter shield to see if it helps with the temps. Sealed with some aluminum tape for more moisture resistance. Once the engine warms up it should dry it up well.
No doubt it has properties to reflect heat which is useful in certain application..., but what is the point of it when it is 100+ degrees outside, roughly 200 in your engine compartment, and asphalt is probably in 150 digits... see where im going with this?
I tried this the only thing it does is make it take longer to get hot. Still gets just as hot just takes longer.I'm not crazy about the carpet in the jeep either. Specially where I live where mold grows like crazy.

Is your Jeep running the original Cat? Just curious. I decided to purchase (yet to install) Random Technology because of the review linked.I tried this

if I ever take my dash out I’ll be sure to do it. But don’t see my dash coming out anytime soonI keep dismissing the idea of placing insulator on the firewall from the engine side due to it being unreachable to clean there... but the more i look at it, the more doable it looks. Just a brush with a long handle, 30 minutes of scrubbing and surface should be clean enough for adhesion.

There is enough space to get in there and insulate everything along the red line in the picture.
Doing so will reflect a lot of heat from the area above the carpet line in the picture below coming through into the cabin.

Part of me wants to take the whole dash out again, and just insulate it from the inside. Its not a long process, and as you can see, there is a lot can be covered from inside. Damn, more i think about, more i regret not doing it when i had everything out.
