what have you gotten done on your blazer today?
[QUOTE=blazen_red_4x4;691968]Trying to combat this Florida summer heat, this afternoon I whipped some ghetto sun shades for the back quarter windows and back door windows out of some fold up sun shades that I had laying around in the garage. Will will either help keep it a little cooler inside by reflecting light away or turn the Blazer into a rolling solar oven. We'll see lol...
My truck sits out in the parking lot at work and just gets beat by the sun for 10 hours a day, so I might be trying a few different things... Just putting a sun shade in the front window isn't cutting it.
Try cracking ( opening ) each window to let some of the heat out and let some cooler air in to circulate. I noticed you have the window rain shields that should conceal the open ( cracked ) windows. That is what I do. You may be able to find a solar powered exhaust fan like these that suits you. https://www.banggood.com/Solar-Power...r_warehouse=CN
Good luck and let us know if you try a solar fan and how it works out.

You know, I live literally 7 minutes from work and I can't get there 15 minutes early, much less 45 lmao
Been doing that too and it does help a little
At the man mall this weekend, picked up this lil' beauty...
Had a nice, plastic composite skid plate/oil filter access panel in hand, when I stumbled across this... Almost physically!
Stopped a Buick to grab a matching rim for my wife's car when I saw it, in all its shiny glory, laying across a LeSabre rim in the rear of the car.
It was fate.

Nice! I had a full set of the aluminum ones at one time, never bolted them on though... couldn't... they were off a ZR2, wouldn't bolt onto my non-ZR 4x4 But I eventually ran across some of the carbon ones and that's what I'm running on her right now, until I find some non-ZR aluminum skids

Well to report back on my "solar shielding" for lack of a better term, it doesn't seem to necessarily keep the truck any cooler through the day, but it DOES seem to get cooler inside faster and even overall get colder inside the cab with the windows blocked off. So I guess that's something!
