Just put the windshield down and stack a few blocks of ice on it…cheap and cool.

I like your thinking

Check your cabin air filter. With our Jeeps spending so much time in the desert they get plugged up with dust bad enough that swapping a fresh filter makes a big difference in cooling.

That may be what it is dont think I replaced in the last year or so

The cabin filter should be replaced frequently. Most likely more than once a year. I do mine every other oil change. There is a lot of construction in DFW, so dust accumulation doesn’t take very long on these filters. I’d also recommend a headliner of some kind. My plans are to use some sound and heat adhesive sheets on the top and then a coverking headliner over that. Then adding armorlite flooring to replace the carpet. Texas heat stays around 100+ in most summers and the humidity is over 60% most days, up to 100%.

Well sounds like I found my somewhat lacking cooling performance. Has to be that cabin filter .

The Gladiator I got in May is my first Jeep with leather seats. Not fun in Louisiana heat!

Heat index was 109º a few days ago in South Florida..The inside of my truck feels like the arctic. If my A/C works in Florida heat you have nothing to worry about.

Yea, I know what you mean (I'm in Key Largo). My JTR chills off quickly too, in about a minute it's a noticeable drop in temperature. Air works really well. Mine is also white with the headliner which makes a difference.

If I’m not mistaken Largo was at 112° index

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

That was actually one thing I was concerned about when buying my Rubicon earlier in the year. Mine is basically loaded with most options that the X has but mine has the black fabric seats. My wife has a BMW with the leather and even though they are a lighter, almond color leather, they are still HOT when you first sit on them, especially when wearing shorts (as we do most of the year here). I can't imagine sitting on the dark brown leather that BMW offers. Anyway, I saved a few thousand and bought the standard Rubicon with the fabric seats. No regrets here.

Out at work we have hit 115, it drops about 10 degrees on my way back into town.

But it's a dry heat. Yea, that's what everybody told me that lives in the West (NV, AZ, etc.). I was in Phoenix several times and once it was, actual heat (not "feels like") 118 degrees. Dry heat? Yea. I live in South Florida, but 118 nearly baked me. I told them, "dry heat, ok, I put my head into the oven, that is dry heat too." I thought I was going to pass out.

I'll take 115⁰ and no humidity over 90⁰+ and 90% humidity any day.

Yeah I have been in Western Colorado and 110 and was like this ain't to shabby ..
Then in Florida near the beach 95 with 90%+ humidity and thought this is too hot . Its no place for a thick blooded person. People with thin blood do okay there.
