Default the heat is coming.. how are you keeping cool
it's starting to reach the 80's on a daily basis here and my jeep is definitely feeling it on the trail
list what you're doing to keep your jeep cool

my plans
-system flush and refill with 50/50
-dual junk yard electric fans wired to switches
-transmission bypassing radiator completely going to a B&M cooler with gauge
-finally putting a tstat back in. thinking about a hesco high flow pump and tstat


anyone else have some cool mods that keep your jeep a few degrees cooler? besides the obvious replacing worn out parts

You can wedge a block of ice between the grill and radiator...

That's a really good idea. Maybe get some co2 canisters to spray the engine down

Or set up a power inverter and mount a 110v air conditioner to the bumper and have it blow the cold air on the radiator

It would also give the jeep better aerodynamics. Maybe help with air flow too. Hell you could even use it as a cold air turbo
