I love the look how did it do on cooling the engine bay down.

 

yep

 

marine vents, 20 bucks for the pair



they work great crawling and in town , on the highway they dont help much

 

that looks great, a nice clean cut and finished off real nice.

 

I still cant get over these vents! I love how clean they look, I just copied the design on my 89 XJ they are just as effective as they are cool looking! thanks for the idea and dimensions!

 

I think these would look great on the fender with louvers on the hood! I may have to do that. Of Course cutting through the fenders also to make them functional.

 

Here's mine with vents from Go2marine. $18. Got a vent for the bumper to. Hope to mount a tranny cooler behind it. I don't notice it cooler on the road, but, after driving for a hour, the hood is cool to the touch and ALOT of warm air is coming out the vents when I stop. The hood is blemished from the heat buildup previously.

 

Installed vents on my XJ a few weeks ago.









I used expanded metal for the vents and stainless steel for the bolts.

 

The vent's look great but i would be concerned about rain or snow getting on all the wire's on your firewall.

 

I likey.

 

I live in oregon, I built a drip pan for my Labaron hood vents. it has surgical tubing for the draining

 

I know what I'm doing next week with my time off from work.

 

nice clean lookin xj consoder one more thing what about water gettin in and soaking dist durin hravy rains maybe some thing might be needed under to direct the water away from motor

 

Would a larger vent with a larger drip pan do any good, or would the drip pan just hold the heat in?

 

As long as the drip pan is spaced far enough away from the vent; the heat will go around the drip pan and out of the vent. I would bet that an inch of space would be sufficient.
