Randy,

That looks sweet. And I really like the price. What are the details of that build?

Actually their Mendards. I'll post some pics soon. Jeffy has some too. It's long gone to Michigan. Can't wait for my cage in my new XJ!

Check the local wrecking yards for a 5.9L Grand. They look much better, and will probably cost you less.....







Later.

i have also seen guys take the hood off the hinges and add a spacer and longer bolt to re-attach it. it looks ok and it does serve the purpose, but i dont know about it on the trail. i mean it works on the trail, but, if you have your windows down on a trail, wouldn't you guys think that all the under hood heat would blast you? i'll try to find a pic of what i'm talking about.

sheet metal fabricators can't be too expensive, they can bend you some cowl induction type vents a lot faster then you'd think and you can design your heart out to make them unique and still inexpensive.
