hey those look pretty good
 
Hey, not too shabby. I was thinking about giving something like that a shot, but I forgot all about it. Thanks for reminding me.

I am most of the way done with my hood vent install. I just need to go back and, trim fit a few spots, then coat the edges with a primer/sealer to prevent rust

Maybe it is just me, but aren't they backwards?

I was thinking the same thing too. But i guess it depends if you want to push cold air into the engine compartment or let hot air out. i would have turned them around and mounted them closer to the cowl, IMO.
 
When can I get my drill and the jigsaw back? Gotta get that stuff back in the shop before pop's realizes that its missing. He mounted them that way because of something he read on go-jeep's website. He drilled the holes and I started cutting....
 
I want to put the smaller ones at the back, just have not had the chance. With both of them in it would have the effect of washing cooler air over the motor, as opposed to just sucking the air out of the engine bay in front of the radiator. I did it more because I got tired of outrageous underhood temps than for any cooling relief. It seems to have made a large difference. I never have really had any cooling issues, even with the stroker, heck I am not even running a dedicated fan right now.
