So a lot of the time when I am out in the Jeep I will stop on top of a mountain/at a creek/at a (insert scenic spot here) - and I never want to sit there with the engine running and the AC on (I don't like using AC anyway).
The problem with sitting there with the engine off and the windows down? - effing mosquitos. Clouds of them, all waiting to drain me of my blood and give me Encephazikanengitis.
So, I made a half-window Jeep screen!
It's a working prototype/mock-up with a window channel on the bottom that you roll the window up into it to secure it.
These are just made with super thick/stiff paperboard, nylon screen, spray adhesive and staples - but actually work pretty well! The next iteration will probably be made of some sort of rollable plastic sheeting.
Minor inconvenience solved!
At least now I can do long exposure pictures without getting eaten alive!
