camping window screens

if you ever sleep in your jeep try making small window screens out of parts from a hardware store to put in when you have the windows rolled down...it will keep it cool and keep bugs out

At hardware stores they sell frames and screen to make screen doors, buy several feet of each, and some tubing to hold the screen to the frame. Measure the windows you want covered make the screen, then simply wedge the screen imbetween the rolled down window and the top of the window frame

ive tossed this idea around before but never got around to it........another cool thing i saw was a cherokee where someone had cut the screen out of a large tent and duct-taped it to the back so they could sleep with the hatch open...sounds pretty crappy but looked sweet

might be interesting to pick up some old cheap and scratched windows, cut out the window part and sew some screen to the fabric part so you could just zip them in like mormal windows.....man I should sell that idea. Maybe that lunatic at gator tops will buy it

Go the extra mile. Buy a mosquito net large enough to throw over the Jeep.

It's inexpensive, folds up small, and has many other uses.

If you need a small fan, you can get a computer cooling fan. very low power consumption, quiet and small. sometimes just a little breeze makes all the difference.

I doubt you would even feel the breeze those fans puts out...

You need to change brands,
I've got several that you can feel at the back end of the LJ sitting on the dash. they are great when stuck at the CP.

You know, magnets will hold screen to your outer window frames really nice - if you have the doors in. We did that in my partners Liberty - works great - no bugs and lotsa breeze!

Holy old thread!

I carry a cab cover that I bet could easily be modified to include a screen on each side to allow airflow. It would be like a Jeep tent!
