Lol I know you weren't. I've gotten used to the odd looks and comments from my wheeling buddies. But they do vent out a ton of heat from the engine compartment, and now I've got external defrosters lol

Whole jeeps getting painted camo tomorrow.

And yeah, for now they're mounted with rivets, and rtv to seal them around the edges. Id weld em on, but my house ia so old there isn't a single circuit in the house that can handle the draw of my welder. So until I go over a buddies/install another circuit its the best I could do.

Also I'm going to be using the metal scraps cut out of the hood to put a slant on the front at some point, so they don't look completely ridiculous lol

Basic tune up, Plugs/Wires, Cap/Rotor. The coil lug on the cap was badly corroded, and the gap on each plug was over .055.

And yes, they're cake pans. 8$ total, and none of the jy around here have vehicles with vents in them.
Did u put any drip pans underneath the cake pans?

Hood was stuck shut the other day. Pulled the release cable but it had no tension. Cable handle was still good and the cable was still attached to the handle. I figured that it had snapped somewhere up along the end because I could hear something moving under the hood. Pulled the head lights out and got to the two bolts holding the catch springs down. Popped the hood open and found that the cable bracket bolted to the hood had no more hardware attached to it and was swinging freely. Remounted it and put everything back together and now it works better than when I first bought it.

Cleaned it after a hard night of partying. Poor jeep. Not used to that kind of abuse. Didn't even get the outside any dirtier then before.
