    Thanks for the link/tip on a 3" air cut-off. My angle grinder was proving unwieldy and was warping surrounding paint.

    Just a quick side note, cover your windshield with something. Sparks and glass are not friends.

    What beaches are you running on? You said dunes, so I am guessing out west? Here in NC, the outer banks are awfully flat.

    Nice job, bro. I installed old school vents from a LeBaron on mine. Don't it just break your heart to cut into a good hood? Lol. I had problems with TPS sensor and water damage, so I took the rubber distributor cover off the old style 5.0 mustangs and wrapped it over and around the throttle body and sensor. A little bit of trimming and some zip ties and it works killer. Consider that if you're on the beach alot. Happy wheeling.

    I did this to my XJ and added a small electric fan to one of the vents to blow out the hot air.

    Hi, great job. I'm curious about that: What is the engine temperature before and after the vents installation? Thanks AND greetings

    • @Donnythelatemodeltech
      @Donnythelatemodeltech  4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Jeeps never had any over heating issues.. the temps before and after pretty much the same. But, the vents definitely let the heat out, faster cooldowns , less heat soak.

      Makes a noticable difference if you're creeping along with doors off, there's a huge cloud of heat from the tranny that pools up into the cab, louvers alleviate it somewhat

  • @thedon7528

    Hey, did it actually help keep engine temp down? Be honest because I seriously need the battle heat soak cause Texas has 100 degree weather all summer and I need a solution?

    • @Donnythelatemodeltech
      @Donnythelatemodeltech  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I've never had an issue with engine tips before . So... running a fan controller and the vents didn't hurt.

    I would have used spray paint, just some tape to hold it then paint the outline, since it is on the bottom nobody should really see it
