I've seen a number of engine shots here now with folks sporting the reefer line heat shields. So you find those actually help with your AC's efficiency?
Sounds good man.Not sure exactly why but I had the desire not to modify the sub box if at all possible. Save for eight screw holes, I actually manged this.
Part of the design scope was to keep the proudest feature across the face of the speaker below the surface of the sub box to avoid any direct contact with any other items. I was successful in this though I didn't account for small vertical ribs on the back of the bars in the console's speaker grille area. It looked a little close to the top of the foam surround (only) for my liking, so Inserted some 00 rubber faucet washers between the sub box and console at the three screw holes for an extra buffer. Bear in mind I am not running a high powered system here, this is stock in terms of output.
I did add some thin adhesive felt pieces at spots where I saw the potential for contact/vibration between the two. The Dynamat is not a bad idea.

it can't NOT help
any heat the AC picks up in the engine compartment ends up having to be rejected back through the condenser on the next go-round, which preheats the air coming into the radiator.
The theory would seem to have substance.
Sorry for the double post.
So the mid arm bracket goes right where the rearmost transfercase nutsert goes. I was going to trim both, and started to, but... I didn't like the idea of cutting the control arm bracket. So I ground the nutserts smooth and burned the brackets on. I'll trim the skid forward to clear and add another nutsert. I think the skid is strong enough to take that modifcation ok.

I learned that these are not the same. Ignore the gauge, I wasn't aware 18 for gas and 20 is flux. I figured the flux would have been labeled flux somewhere. Another amateur mistake.

Modified some brackets and slopped them together for mounting the spare carrier in the tub. Moving it back an inch to use up the space that was once occupied by a 37. Good thing they don't have to be pretty

So gargoyle then? Hadn't considered that option...
Mine isn't that bad, but it's doing the same thing. It may just not look as bad 'cause it's red instead of black and I've avoided waxing it to not fill all the cracks with white wax residue.
Grab a bottle of turtle wax color tinted wax.
I wouldn’t have believed it but our motorhome has the micro checking in the darker (black) and the turtle wax does a great job of at least waxing the good part w/o putting white into the cracks to highlight them.
you must know her then haha.
its a hula girl....been on my dash for 10 years ( she's lasted longer than my marriage did )
Yes, well having a hula girl riding around in your car will definitely put a strain on a relationship.

Did the first of many mods too the new to us TJ, got a killer deal on some Sahara wheels with some larger tires, larger then I wanted but we are going to keep her on the road for now, lets see how long that lasts until we raise a little.
I was gonna take the bars off and go black out but I got over ruled, oh well but it looks better then I thought it was going too.
