KC, where did you buys those louvers by the way? I like it, might buy them for my black rig..
Darn straight jjvw, and they are functional and they set a tj apart cuz how.many Tjs have this mod, very, very few I betThe are the best louvers, imo.
I was reading an old thread on hood vents/louvres. One post had this generic link to louvres on eBay so I click it, and there they are, stone white even. I impulse bought them on the spot $120 even tho they are used and have 2 chips.KC, where did you buys those louvers by the way? I like it, might buy them for my black rig..
Mine were $20 at the junk yard from a 1998 5.9L Grand Cherokee.I was reading an old thread on hood vents/louvres. One post had this generic link to louvres on eBay so I click it, and there they are, stone white even. I impulse bought them on the spot $120 even tho they are used and have 2 chips.
All I know is the Grand Cherokees had them 1 year only from the factory...
I'm sorry I wouldn't know where to specifically look
Don't think I like u anymoreMine were $20 at the junk yard from a 1998 5.9L Grand Cherokee.
Very few specifically notice them. But I do think the GC louvers subtley add to overall presence of the Jeep. That's what I like about having an unassuming factory part.@jjvw. do you get many compliments on your hood louvres, or do unobservant peeps just look past them ??
I installed these louvres on mine a month ago.

Your bumper cooler will likely have little to no effect on the engine cooling system.They actually look pretty good when they are the same color as the hood. How was the install? Where did you get them?
I never considered vents until I saw this thread. Its a good idea to keep engine bays cooler but I may actually need them or actual engine cooling lol
I bought a front hitch and cargo carrier and I plan to carry a decently sized cooler right in front of the grill. It will be more than a foot away so air will easily flow around the cooler but not be forced into the grill. I wonder if adding vents will allow for better natural airflow kinda like a venturi effect. I will still monitor my temps and it may be that the fan and highway speeds will be enough but I am already thinking ahead.

The install probably took me 8 hours or so working slow. I'm not a fabricator but I slowly got these mounted. I used a common hand held sheet metal shearsThey actually look pretty good when they are the same color as the hood. How was the install? Where did you get them?

I used the hood rubbers as a reference guide once I decided where to position them. Took painters tape and used it to assist with reference marks
The hood metal is stout. I was surprised I was able to cut using my old sheet metal hand cutter

To love is grand....to divorce is a hundred grand! at leastI "tried it" it three times. It's no wonder I could only afford a $750 TJ!!!
