As u see, my roof is not lined.
I believe the result is true, When I touch the roof by hand, the difference feels like a cup of hot coffee and a glass of tap water.

U can try out urself and I think u will also be impressed.

Put the foil on and do the same tests again. Any chance you are blinding truckies? With reflection? Ur idea definitely. May have some merit, but can't use your ir thermometer on the foil, emissivity is way too low
I took both pictures at the same time after 2 hours driving.

For those ones don't believe me, I'm not going to argue anything about it and I'm not convincing anyone to do the same. This is the true result I have there anyway.
All I am saying is this method works perfectly for me and I feel happy about it.

yeah, I have been wanting to get one of them. Never realised the ARB drop bracket was even there!

No clunk so far & it doesn't roll any worse on the corners on road. The clunk always felt like the left rear wheel was getting stuck & suddenly dropping. This is why I checked the shocks previously & tried swapping them left/right. Now I KNOW, it was getting stuck, why & on what. So, all good so far!

Not bling in my book. Very nice black chrome on black.
