I’ve not experienced any issues with the Gladiator heat from under the seat or drivetrain panel next to pedals, but installed this material to better insulate temperature and mainly help reduce road noise. Maybe if you are having these heat problems it will help, if coming from the floor panels. If from the air vent, well that is a different issue.
Anyway, I cut and taped this insulation material between the carpet and floor panels. Did all the floor panels for less than $20 included the tape, also had material left over. It’s thin enough not to effect the look of the carpet when reinstalled. Just cut around the prongs where your carpet snaps back in and tape those areas and all seams to keep the heat barrier contained.

I used this on my Challenger in 2013 and JK in 2016 and appears to help with sound deadening and temperature control. I hope it helps some of you with these potential heat problems. If anyone needs a picture of the final product installed in the Gladiator just let me know and I will pull the carpet up and snap a couple pictures.
