Spiderwire glasses are great for daytime Bowfishing, can't see sheit without them!

Another brand I can recommend is XPS from bass pro, the have an amber lense that's great for fishing. But they scratch easy, still a bargin at $20!

This is one of my favorite threads, keep it going! When the weather breaks, I will contribute more, but for now my comment serves as a bump.

yea...those little tiny holes are NOT going to be enough to keep the jeep from overheating. You need FLOW of air though the radiator...but you effectively just blocked the entire radiaitor

My temperature readings haven't changed since doing this and I've taken it on a two hour nonstop trip just yesterday with it being in the upper 70s and running the a/c full blast the whole way. Again, it's basically mesh. Holding the sheeting unpainted up to the sun, you can see through it perfectly fine. It just looks like it would block airflow because it's dark out, I painted it black, and it's dark behind it

i see now. I still think you'll have issues once the temperature climbs above 90 or so since it disrupts the airflow. Just keep an eye on it i guess
