does any one have a pic of a hood on there cherokee with washers in it to raise the back up

 

You must know some on this forum do not advocate for this mod but I do run it. You must make your own decision.

 

there might be some in my picture album

 

wait here are a few...best i have of it spaced up

 

does it help with the heat in the motor bay and when it rains does it leak in

 

It does fine in the rain. I spaced mine because I sprayed a blanket on it. And yes it helps a lot with the heat.

 

im not tryin to highjack this thread but i plan on doin this soon,whats the thickness i should use or how many washers should i use? and anythin else ima need?

 

x2

 

I would not use washers. Get a solid piece of metal and use grade 8 bolts. A 1/2" will work fine. I bought mine but I cannot remember from where.

 

i used washers and have had no issues at all... and i stand on my hood..
i just put washers on the back bolt. i think i used 4 to 5 washers. i also used the factory bolts.. every one will do it a different way you just gotta try it and see what fits you best

 

Would removing the rubber gasket do basically the same thing?

 

It could I guess.
