Put a couple of these on my XJ:



Noticeable difference when you are slow-wheeling during the summer (I take mine out in the dunes of OBX in 90° plus temps) as well as a big decrease in heat soak after you park it while its hot. They really allow a lot of air to flow around the engine bay when you aren't really moving fast enough to get a decent head-wind.

 

sweet, keep em coming

 

Put on this vent from lowes. Its nor a great picture

 

Mine.

 

I don't have these mounted but just sat them on my head to take a photo to try and sell them (No takers). They are actually aluminum vents off a tractor trailer door.

I cut these hood vents out of a side panel off a stainless steel bar b que grill

 

I bought a pair of vents off of Ebay for $25.00

They do a great job of letting heat out of the engine bay and keeping water out. Even while wheeling 8hrs a day at crawling speeds in 90* weather in moab

 

Here's mine.

 

went cheap on my first cherokee... set of 4 4" floor registers and a handful of self tapping screws. Went in easy, never came loose, definetly let a LOT of heat out!

cost me about 25 bucks all said and done.

 

How hard was the install? Are they 3m taped to the hood?

 

Install was easy just measured marked cut and stuck them on with 3m tape.

 

I just ordered some of these, I'm hoping it will help with my heat problem on the trail

 

Those are what I'm running on my '01 XJ. They look good and definitely help letting a lot of heat out when in stop-go traffic, trail riding or just parked.
