Water dripping from hood vents is far less intrusive than water being blasted into the engine compartment at 60 miles an hour in a rain storm.Not to mention the potential for water to get into electrical connections when it rains.

Would that be 60 mph after passing through the radiator and a/c condenser or indirectly via splashing up from the bottom? I don't see how the engine gets seriously blasted in a rain storm, at least not in my experience the couple times I've had the hood up after driving in the rain. I do understand how water blasted at the engine can cause electrical problems but I've only experienced that after pressure washing the engine at the car wash.Water dripping from hood vents is far less intrusive than water being blasted into the engine compartment at 60 miles an hour in a rain storm.
I would suggest further back.
I’d move them further back.
Wow! Great look. Attractive, yet stealthy.
Did you have any kind of rough idle issues when on trails / offroading at slow speeds for a while before you added those and if so did adding those help? My Jeep will start idling really rough after I've been on trails after a while at slow speeds and I'm sure it's the heat soak issue. Just wondering if this would be a solution.All I know is that the intake temp decreased about 5deg after the louvers went in.
The only rough idle mine has ever had, and still occasionally has, is after a hot restart. Venting may have helped some. But at least to the extent that mine is vented, is still something that happens sometimes.Did you have any kind of rough idle issues when on trails / offroading at slow speeds for a while before you added those and if so did adding those help?

Mine has a rough idle also after a hot start. If I fill up with gas its usually ok but if I am stopped for about 10 minutes it runs pretty rough.The only rough idle mine has ever had, and still occasionally has, is after a hot restart.

Mine does vent hot air, but I did do a mod to the water pump, fan, and replaced the radiator to keep the temp down. No more issues.
Put in a heavy duty water pump and a Ford Explorer conversion (fan clutch and 10 blade fan). I had never heard of it, but when my mechanic called the supplier (on speaker phone) it was obvious that they had done this before. The only time it hits 210 now is in stopped traffic with the A/C running. I should mention my 4.0 is turbocharged, and I had to cut the hood for the cold air intake for that years ago so cutting the hood for the louvers wasn’t a big deal for me (cutting it for the turbo WAS a big deal at the time).What were the water pump and fan mods that you did?
Cold air intake for the turbo.What's that on the passenger-side of your hood, behind the clamp?
I put these Genright long narrow vents on a few years ago. The driver's side one is directly over the exhaust manifold, the other just mirrors it. It doesn't do anything for engine temp, but it does let hot air out easier. I originally dit it to try to stop heat soak. Of course, about two weeks later I heard about the factory solution.View attachment 283216
