Sounds reasonable, but why would anyone want to leave?

I need to put on my big boy pants and cut my hood already, been thinking about it for a couple years now, that pentastar v6 runs hot.

These go through the aluminum skin like nothing is there.

Get an AEV hood.

That’s actually why I haven’t done the poison spider hood vent mod yet, I could get better resale on a stock oem painted hood. The aev is over $800

but it’s a quality piece, probably the most well thought out functional vented jk hood out there.

Sh1t, now you’ve got me thinking about getting that aev hood again. I guess I know which way I’m gonna go…

Jeep XK 4x4... bought it new years ago... it just keeps going and going and still looks like new. But the bay gets extremely hot. I already have a 180* thermostat (stock is 203) and installed a transmission cooler. They really help keep the temps in control (or at least what I feel is in control). But in stop n "stall" traffic, I really could use those vents. Oh, and my heated seats are for sale... any takers for those useless POSs here in FL?

Honestly, I should have gotten a huge discount agreeing to buy a car in FL with heated seats.

Couldn't you just replace the hood with a Seibon? Betty highly recommends them. Second to the Comp turbo.
