Just wondering if anyone has heard anything about these louvers? I first saw them when I was running through a 4x4 mag and they seemed like a good mod (if you feel like cutting up your hood) but does anyone know if these let WATER in through the vents? and even if that would be a big deal because I'm located in Wash and it rains...ALOT! and im not sure if I want 2 basically BIG HOLES in my hood?! but the plus side is the engine/underhood temp and they look pretty cool too! any inputs?

Anything that let heat escape from under the hood is great. If you want louvers use the Dodge from a junk yard , you can use a 4" deck plate from a boat shop or just raise the rear of the hood 1/2"

 

WOW they look kool. I wish i had the money for them...Tj

 

isnt there a grand cherokee with some thing simmiler to that,maybe you can get some from the junk yard cheep

 

helllll yeah, im gettin this one for my cherokee

i'll be lookin all badazz and shiat


yeah those louvers are nice

 

yeah they would let the heat out and it wouldnt hurt the moter if it gets wet.i live in portland pretty close so i know what rain ur talkin about. aint stopped for a coupl days now.if u dont like them u could sell the hood and buy a new jy one. how much were they. hey 76athony dont u think ur gas milage would suck more?[aw ho cares its f- sweet lookin]

 

If you're worried about rain getting in thru the louvers, you could always fab up a baffle system that mounts underneath to limit that... Just an idea.

 

there are several types that you can pull from the jy i just cant remember them right now..... if the things arent too big it wont be that bad because water gets on the engine anyway. there are several writeups on the internet about these just google it.

 

see thats where the old noggin comes into play, as cool as that hood is, think of all the chickies i could get, and then i'll tell em to pay for gas, BAM, problem resolved

 

Ahhh, reminds me of L.A. back in the old days....

 

yeah for me that was wayyyyy back in the days, wayyyyyyyyy back

 

How old are ya?

 

41, and feel 401

 

oh get them off a early to late 80s nissan truck, i know the ones with the 8 spark plugged 4pooper had dem on the hoods.

 

Someone remembers the days of the Strip and the Boulevard...
Last time I was out there I was still impressed on the places that were left. Can't get too specific other than the Bow, Whisky and On the Rox. Oh not to mention :::cough cough::: The Body Shop, The Tropicana and the Veil...
