In the 102* weather yesterday, it was running about 205* on the highway at 60mph, and just under 210* around town (e-fan on low due to A/C system pressure). It hit 210* a couple times driving up hills in town. I wouldn't want to reduce airflow in this thing, at least not in the summer.

You might look for places to put vents to let air out of the engine compartment. The stock grill will let lots of air in, but often there is no place for it to go after its in the engine compartment.
Here in New Mexico we get 100+ pretty regular, many of the Jeeps that get used have vents cut into the hoods, just to let the hot air out.
