If your system is functioning properly, you don't need vents to stop you from overheating. That doesn't mean they won't help reduce the ambient underhood temperature, though.

Indeed. heat soak misfire is annoying lol.

back on topic, ykydaxj when you come to an obstacle while wheeling, you and your buddy get out and check it out with worried expressions, then crawl it anyways.

YKYDAXJW you get a big dent or gash in your Jeep and you don't need insurance to fix it.

When your dad won't put ANY money into it... Because its your rig, and you need to start the engine with starting fluid every time you start it for a week because you don't have cash for a fuel pump.

I was getting ready to turn on a side street today, and I was down to 25 when a huge dog walked out in front of me. My buddy was like " that would have destroyed the front of this thing ". I said " no I have the tow bar on the front, I could hit it doing 60 and destroy its head! Not my xj!"

When you see a sweet lifted XJ and then get depressed cause you didn't have your XJ to park next to it and take a picture.
