Been using that trick for years! When got my first Jeep (YJ) my gal and I would head out to the lake on the weekends sans top/doors (only had a hard top).

Didn't think anything of it, being new to Jeeps, but found out the 85 in the day could become 45 at night with a 60mph breeze Froze out respective naughty parts off on the way home. Of course it didn't help that a panting chihuahua puts out more heat than the YJ's hvac...

I've been thinking about something along those lines since i had my first jeep in 2001. except instead of heat I was going to use AC. Instead of putting the hose down your shirt/pants (whatever gets your pee hot) I was going to run it alonf the console between the seats and point them up so it makes the seats nice and cold.
The only reason I never done it........... I never had AC. LOLOLOLOL

Even with AC on your seats still head up like theres no tomorrow. I think this would solve the problem!!

We do the same thing in Iraq with the AC vents for our hot body armor. Works Great!
