You would be mistaken for a stray cop. All you would need is a uniform.

Welcome to CF s00perredneck.

Just painting the roof white is not going to make much of a difference. There would be too much surface area still in black to attract the suns heat.

Now, not to come across as a jerk. Not everyone on this forum is still in their teens and fluent in the texting shortcuts and abbreviations. There are a lot of old farts like me on here that have a vast wealth of knowledge about cars, Jeeps, and Cherokees in particular. Many of us who are advanced in our years will more than likely pass the oppurtunity to answer your question because it takes to long to try and understand exactly what you are asking. Like I said, I am not trying to be a jerk, just trying to help you find the information you need.

I have to agree it might help a little, but probably not much.

Also I guess I'm a teenie-bopper because I didn't even notice the abbreviations until you said something.

yeah i didnt even know that i was doing it but its cool. but yeah i know it would be crazy but i dont have a head liner and a hot piece of metal above my head, u can just feel the heat. but i dont know if changing the color to white would even help that much

i wish. but i might have it soon im going to see if i can charge it and maybe it will work, if not i got to find out what i need to do to fix it, and if its worth it. Im thinking about taking the doors off and having each wire on a connector for easy on-and-off doors. but i have power windows and power locks so, yeah. i dont know. prolly not

Default Window tint?

I've got the cherokee and its Green, Wife's got an excursion and its dark blue. Hers is always cooler then mine when I walk out to it and its got factory tint. Black is gonna be hotter but you could keep the hot rod look and maybe accent it with a little window tint. I think it would cool you off a bit.
