A hole lota heat
Ok since our visit to AM General proving grounds I had to remove all my carpet, not a big thing. My problem is driving down the road the passenger can melt their tenny runners to the floor. My exhaust is not up against the floor. But I have a lot of heat. My question is this cant be normal or is it ??

I dont run carpet in my XJ, it gets a little warm but not to the point of melting anything. My buddy doesnt run carpet in his MJ and his floor seems to be quite a bit hotter. Maybe there's something with the older unibodies.
Sounds kind of ghetto but you could add some air bake cookie sheets to the underside of the floor to act as heat shields.

Funny you should mention the air bake cookie sheets, I made that same suggestion to the wife when we was on our way back from the autism run. She looked at me as if I was stupid. Well just because she has a collage degree to make and sell drugs doesn't make her shop smart. LOL.

Re: heat

They start to rise when water comes up through the plugs..fun to watchtabfinder wrote:Take out the cat.....heat problem nearly solved.
