Time to change your cabin air filter

It uses the existing stock screw holes.

I'm not convinced the earlier models had the holes from the factory. Not sure what year is shown in this photo found on the interwebs but @patdugan indicated his is a '99 model. The hole certainly looks similar. I'm attempting to come up with an alternate air plenum to suit earlier models for my design.

Did you drill the screw holes or were they there already?

I drilled holes and then used washer head screws. They didn't add screw holes in the TJ until they switched over to using that covered trim piece. In the earlier models there are no holes and no covering, mine is a 99.

I released the STL design files a few weeks ago for people to print as a way of contributing to the TJ Jeep community. The downside being if you don't have a way to print the parts, though there are online print services available.

The files are hosted on my server but I only linked to them from here.

What printer did you use to make that?
Very nice piece!

It looks as though, save for modifications to give clearance to the screw holes, the actual hole punched through the sub-cowl is the same size. That said, some years seem to have a bit of plastic extending through the hole from inside. Making an alternate air plenum part might be a bit easier than originally thought.

Bambu Lab P1S, overall I'm very pleased with it. Handles ABS and ASA prints with relative ease. Most of the parts take between 0.5 to 3 hours (not including cooling time), except for the main air plenum...that one comes in at ~14 hours with higher print quality settings. The plenum is also a bit wasteful as it uses a lot of material for support. I tried flipping the part over on the print bed to reduce support but quality of the finished part suffered remarkably.

Very nice piece!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Impressive!
Thank you for the response good sir!
