whats the point of the thing on the hood?

 

I tow long distance with heavy trailers, it's got the same effect as LeBaron hood vents, only much more effective at evacuating heat. Also allows me to watch the engine directly.

 

Went and bought a '95 4.0HO today for $250, complete with wiring, clutch/flywheel, and full exhaust. Approximately 175,xxx miles. Runs beautifully, test drove the truck it was in, the guy is pulling it to put in a diesel.

I figured, for $250, I couldn't go wrong, no oil leaks, no burning, no noise. The factory manifold is still intact even!

Pics will be posted Friday or Saturday when I get the engine picked up.

 

300k + miles and still going strong!
congrats man.
Nice subwoofer.
I get criticized from all my friends about mine but mine is only a small 10" lol

I save the trunk bump for my daily driver. 2 12's in that. lol
allthough I been keeping the bass turned down a LOT lately.
(like the last few years)
getting close to 30 years old now and my hearing needs a rest.
If you start doing the same your hearing may thank you when you reach my age or Older!

I kinda wanna hear as long as I can without the need for hearing aids. lol

and I like the hood. looks unique!
cool cat.

 

Haha, that beast of a speaker tower in the rear only turns up enough to be felt, all the 'real' audio comes from the 6's in the doors.

Yeah, that's a testament to the AMC I6. I have all the receipts from the O.O. and it's got that many miles ALL ORIGINAL. I've put the past 33K on it, and they've been the hardest 33K it's ever seen.

The hood vent is so incredibly nice in slow traffic on hot days.


Ah, that cat.... My uncle's pet, damn thing has the nickname Satan, for good reason..........

 

lol love the nickname.... lol and my hood vents work good too. the XJ should have came with them stock. hehe just shooting cause I saw the smiley and I though it looks wicked cool lol buzzin

 

Hahahaha! I blame Chrysler for the lack of stock vents. The two places where they screwed up were 1: No hood vents, and 2: Dana 35.

That cat will rape your face if you even look near it wrong.

 

Something is missing........

 

I think there's supposed to be something in here............. Wonder where it went..........

 

Oh! Here it is!

 

On a more serious note, the Renix 4.0 is getting retired at 333,085 Miles, and getting replaced with a 1994 H.O. with approximately 166,xxx miles on it. Here it is getting lifted from the Comanche it was in.

 

Getting the 4.0 ready to remove, decided to pull the front clip to make it easier, and it will allow me to modify the front end like I wanted.

More pics will come as I get her further stripped down. Right now, I'm done on the front end and I'm going to move back to the t-case and transmission.

 

Here's a mock-up teaser of the D44 swap I'm in the middle of. It will be coming back out in a while after I do some measuring, the shock perches are the wrong type, and the brake lines will need to be modified.

I'm so glad I finally got rid of that Dana 35. More pics will come as more changes are made.

 

K-9 on board, Feline on Hood.

 

Driver insane.
