Venting my hood...

Getting these laid out... not set in exact position yet...

Intent is to get some cross venting going on... gets pretty hot with the supercharger... not sure how effective the cross venting hoods and aftermarket vents really are. See a lot of people running them ... figure it can't hurt.

Still playing around with the layout...

 

^^^^^I'M GONG TO ACT LIKE I DIDN'T JUST SEE THIS!!

 

I just put pink stuff on mine.

 

Different strokes for different folks..Dinosaur JK

 

Wow those are some serious vents.

 

Holy mother of...............

 

 

Well..., Kevin certainly has been indoctrinated into the tough love NorCal circle!

Sorry, Kev...

Ahhh... now you can go post on the vent thread!



LMAO !!! No doubt... Ripped my heart right off my sleeve!

Not to worry ... I find ppl in here are full of more hot air than whats under my hood!

I like em' better than the louver panels ...

So P ss off!




You'll really like the view from inside... or not...

 

Less is more...

I'm still considering going with 4 or 6 rather than the 8...

I think you should do as many as possible. My buddy DeAndre put 14 on the hood of his 1987 Buick Lesabre and he lowered hood temps drastically. I think his were chrome so they also looked really good!

 

I don't know if you're seriously going to use those? But just a heads up, Rebel had some really good looking hood vents that may look better on your rig...

I can see one of those painted a silver candy so the CF shows through on your hood. Just a thought.

 

x2 on this recommendation. I'm not going to tell you which JKOwner was going to install one! :innocent:

I'd buy a dozen and put some on the fenders as well. More heat the merrier. WRX scoop in the middle would be bawse.

 

LMAO!!!

Do me a favor and stay out of chit chat for awhile, thanks!

 

Didn't the doctor tell you to stay out of mud holes Rick!!! Always enter from the front buddy.

 

Did you really buy a Silver 2012 X?

RROR skids (modified by 5150 Fabrication for Rock Krawler Long-Arm) are being installed.

I need to get a gas tank skid mine is tore up

 

Could be airborne soon...

Jeepies had migrated to an incurable strain of Jerpies. Massive amounts of intensive carnuba ointment therapy might be necessary.

Not installed ... yet ...

Preliminary response to expected disapproval...

As long as you can take it all in good humor!

 

TJ build is coming together...

Took some pics tonight of the new doors, gate & soft top...

 

I found Scott's last ride. At least he is consistent with his theme of sticker decorations to his rides!

Don't hate, the full size van will make a comeback!

 

That looks definitely better then before. Nice contrast without looking like a Klingon and a jeep got jiggy(like the first pic)

Kind of fawned up the intake is not centered on the JK hood. wtf?

 

Welded in Polys C gusset kit, and got one side BJ's and U-joints installed.

 

Honestly peep's c'mon... the first pics were intended to raise a little hell... I knew Hog & others would go apeshit before I posted them... my first thought with the first photo was Warf... it looks like Warf's Klingon Jeep... anyhow I only act like a little biatch when ppl make fun of my Porsche... just adhering to the stereotypical social expectations of a pompous ass sports car owner...

Got some disappointing news though... I'm going to have to cancel this weekend... I've got to work on some dock problems at Cruiser Haven...

I should hold a Jeep day and see how many docks I can get built with Cutts Crew... any carpenters in the ranks? JK... got things pretty much under control...

Have fun... wish I could get out of this but I've got some older folks counting on me getting the roof raised on a couple slips... Their boat needs to get under cover... out of the weather...

Was kind of looking forward to spreading the Jerpies...

Not centered yet because their not permanently installed yet... I'm going to run some temperature tests with no vents first and get an idea about how effective a vented hood really is...

Just curious that's all...

For as much as I have been picking on you I am curious to the results. Keep us posted on what you find

 

Firepower ignition cables arrived ... these look to be the best spark plug cables I've ever had. looking forward to seeing how the Screaming Demon coil performs... says I can take my gap up to 60... was wondering if anybody else is running a performance coil and what they're gaping their plugs at?

Boost will affect plug gap...

 

My OEM battery died last thursday (after 4½ years, including hard winching).
Got an Odyssey 34-PC1500T...
I read in here that the Odyssey were pretty good.
Well, it started right up this morning...

 

Front and rear Blue Torch Fab diff covers and Teraflex 2.5" coil kit go on tomorrow.
Merry Christmas to my Jeep!
