I'm planning to extend the arb air coupler so I don't have to pop open my hood when I need to use my compressor, and I need to know if I'll have any problems cutting a notch in my hood where I circled?View attachment 285690
Cutting my hood for ARB compressor

I wouldn’t cut my hood for that, why not run it down to either your front bumper or put a bulkhead in your grille.
Where you circled has pieces that bend up and in from the firewall/fender that may interfere.

I DEFINITELY would not cut my hood for that purpose. These are the two points where I mounted my quick connects.
Drivers side frame rail, tucked low and out of the way. This on is on a JL I did, but would work just as well for the TJ.

Every time I think I've seen the most harebrained idea yet, someone comes along and one ups everyone else. Are they having a contest in your neck of the woods for dumb ideas?
OP
woooo there cowboy, at least I asked and didn't just hack up my hood
Isn't that what the forum is for? To call out everyone's occasional dumb ideas and help you spend all your money?

I was seriously impressed how you took the advice and went in the more recommended direction. Not many could do that as you did without further argument.

Yeah, that's not the way we do things around here. First, somebody like Blaine will tell you that it's a stupid idea, then you defend your idea. Insults fly, the rest of us jump in, and hilarity ensues. Eventually, you go ahead and do what you originally wanted, or do something dumber that somebody suggested in jest, and tell the rest of us how great it worked. We ask for pics, and laugh at your workmanship.I was seriously impressed how you took the advice and went in the more recommended direction.

Sad to say that's too often what is happening more and more here. Too often ignoring when someone says they'll not do as they asked about and instead take the advice as offered as the OP bravely did.
Yeah, but the idea that you even considered it is scary.
I thought this was gonna be a Poison Spyder hood louver thread
