Update!

I got the rear flare on the DS tonight. Going to finish the other side Saturday. Also installed the hood vents, let me know what you think!

With the hood vents and the flares, I increased my XJ Gamerscore by a good 250 points.

I used 2x6 floor registers. I picked up both of these at Lowes for around $6.50.

Looks awesome, looks like you have placed them very well. I suspect it mitigates rain on critical components. I have been checking out the various threads on hood vents and your set-up looks promising.

Thanks. You're correct. I didn't want the openings over the injectors or distributer. That's the reason for the placement. I've seen better looking vent setups, but I'm going for function.

Didn't get much done on the Jeep today. I did spend about an hour de-badging it. No more "Jeep", "Cherokee", "4x4", or "4.0L" emblems. It's now a ZAV.

Next up will be trimming and refiting stock plastics (except front bumper). Then a fresh coat of roll on bedliner all around. Any recommendations
on bedliner brands?

Got a couple small things done this week.

Finished up the Jerry cans. I think they turned out pretty good.

I also re-badged the rig. No longer a Jeep, it's a Zombie Assault Vehicle.
