Cooling issues

I agree with most everything brought up here. I'm in a similar boat, with my Jeep contantly running at 207 (normal for the engine), but it doesn't leave me a lot of room to get much hotter before there is an issue. I'm still in the planning phase of my grillblock, but I'm planning on solving the issue of "emergency cooling" with a actuator moter powered scoop that would open to "force" cold air from the front to radiator instead of around it. I'm still working out the logistics, but I'm making the whole thing from fiberglass but using cardboard as an analogue.
