How is that Hack-N-Yap working for you? I need a SYE and wonder if you would recomend it or should I save up?

The SYE has been through all that Michigan can dish out and has worked really good. And it was a deal at under $100. Easy to install also.

I like those vents I'm going to be getting the same ones! Glad you Jeep is back up and running.

Deer suck hit one a year ago at 75. Nice jeep may use some of your mods like the sye and those sweet vents.

do you think the front shaft from an xj will work with only 2-3 inches of lift?

I have 4" on rear of xj. Anthing less than that may be a problem, at least with a H&Tap.

Rugged Ridge makes a SYE thru Summit Racing for under $250. That would work.

Liked my flat fenders, but wanted a better look. So I'm installing YJ flares. Got fronts on, rears next week. Looks good so far. I'll post pics soon.

Do you have to worry about snow or anything getting into your vents? I am looking to do something about my WJ's heat.

The vents do let some moisture in, I had to put a rubber flap under the hood to protect the TPS sensor. Other than that, they're good.

Flat blacked the hood to take care of the badly faded clear coat. Plus new vents.

I like your jeep man. How did your homemade flares hold up hile you had them? They looked good I may do something similar. Like the hood vents too, makes me think of my bros XJ! Good job and keep up the good work!
