I live in the desert area of Colorado where temps can reach as high as 105* durring the summer. I know from working at a lube shop that the under hood temps of a Jeep are extremely high. Some of the highest that come in are the cherokee's. I just wanted to get some opinions and ideas for venting the under hood hotness. I don't want to do the whole hood lift thing and look like the imports running around town. I was looking into some ebay vents that use the 3m tape to hold down. But will that last?

Here are the ones that I was looking at.

check them out. it may be a better alternative to cutting a hole in your hood.

 

I would like to put Grand prix vents on mine

 

I live in CO as well, and I was thinking of going to Lowes, and buying a couple of one direction floor vents, painting them black and screwing them onto the hood!! I don't think they would look any worse than the others I've seen. Peace out!!

 

How about 5.9L ZJ vents...?

 

They're custom, but I've seen some online that look alot lke them.

 

^^^^^^ that does look pretty cool though ^^^^^^

 

ddeadserious, got an under hood shot? I like the look of those. I also like the zj limited ones but they would have to go in the center, which is what those ebay ones kinda look like.

 

Pick up a set of LeBaron Hood vents at your local salvage yard.

i got a set of these coming to me. i figure that and dual electric cooling fans should help out.

 

I live in CO too. it does get pretty hot in some areas. For the people that have the hood vents, can you see a difference in temperature?

Edit: i also work at lube shop!! Jiffy lube lol...WE ARE J-TEAM

 

A few degrees, nothing major.

 

Here are my vents

 

Here are mine. They came from an early 80's Mazda.

 

I don't think that spending $100+ for hood vents is in my budget but those are the nicest ones I've ever seen.

Tupton, I think those are from a 80's 280z, I was looking at a set on one that came into my work the other day.

911xj where did you find those? They look nicer than most.
