In search of a cowl hood myself. Just a tip, use a marker around the brackets on the hood before taking the bolts out. Then you can get the hood spacers in the right place and prevent having to realign.
It just looks like a body shop put the hood on wrong. Still not a huge fan of the look but honestly this has cut the heat from engine bay and trans tunnel down big time.
I have found that when your fuel pump gets age on it.The check valve goes bad and therefore more fuel goes back into the tank and easier to vaporize.When hot so by putting a new fuel pump with a new checkvalve then it likely will not happen as
On our daily, I've considered doing the same mod. Many have warned, if you get into a head on collision or weird accident, hood me shear off and go through windshield, potentially hit driver. For trail only rig, seens like an eaay mod. Looking forward to next episode.
I have the same color jeep, same front bumper, 3in lift, 33in BFGs. I have aluminum spacers that the PO did, I just left them, look fine. But I think my spacers are not that thick... little thinner. (I'm not sure I need them at all... never tested without).
Intake holes let header heat come right up boils gas new horse shoe style has blanket i wrapped everything with dei tape added hood vents no more heat soak and only with chevron gas is when i get heat soak now.
I talked to someone who Is putting a kit together to sell. It has a new fuel pump, regulator, fuel rail and is setup to have a return line back to tank like all modern vehicles. So I'm waiting for him to get the kits out for sale before I go purchasing any parts.
@@ridgewood2771 That is my plan. I found a company who is trying to make up a complete kit. Untill then this "fix" has actually worked better than expected. But I still don't like the look🤣🤷♂️
Any vent in the hood should help remove heat from the engine bay. I'm more interested in taking a stock hood and making a cowl for it but time is my problem right now. So this is just to help till I can make a hood.
@@nextweeksadventure I just cut my hood up and added the Hyline offroad XJ vents, they are pretty cool but I think adding an AC vent under there is better ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

I've never heard someone hate an "upgrade" so much! 😂

@nextweeksadventure i have hood vents and they seem to do the trick. I also have a triple e-fan/radiator upgrade.

Seems more likely that the hood latch will break and flip the hood up before it shears the latches and sends the hood into you
The hood won't go through the windshield.

I gotta ask,how did you get the black eye?😁😁
1st day back from vacation I was putting a box up on a shelf at work and a plastic tote slid off the top of it caught me right in the face.
I haven't watched the whole video yet but have you tried a aluminum fuel rail ? I haven't ever had a problem with heat soak.
I talked to someone who Is putting a kit together to sell. It has a new fuel pump, regulator, fuel rail and is setup to have a return line back to tank like all modern vehicles. So I'm waiting for him to get the kits out for sale before I go purchasing any parts.
Any info on who It is that's going to be selling those kits?

A return fuel system will fix your heat soak problems

Fixed my heat soak with a new bilet fuel rail from amazon its like 120 bucks and 4 hole injectors from KSuspension . Should do the trick
link?
I reccomend 4hole fuel injectors and pigtails from Ksuspension... they're legit!
would hood vents not help?
