That's kinda the direction I'd like to go.

Good idea. How thick was the insulation you put in your Jeep ???

I also made my own. Use 1/8 inch ABS plastic sheet and wrapped it with headliner fabric. Thin enough that the locking do not rub. Keeps the inside temp about 60 degrees cooler than the top. Cost me about $120 to make. The hard part was finding out what tape to use.
