Cool video. From my experience I suggest running your tires at 5 PSI in the sand. You will get much better traction.

 

[HotChiliRam]

Thanks, I was running 4PSI at each corner.

Cool video. From my experience I suggest running paddle tires in the sand. You will get much better traction.

Sweet video. That things sounds a lot better than my 4.0. :guitar:

Unfortunatly I need that space, otherwise I would have to bend more rearwards and with more angle.
I can't do much with the front, I'm working on the sides though. I'm lowering the angles to make it look like it was part of the hood.

You could always try and use some round angled tube for the sides to give it a cleaner look. There is a thread about someone on here that did it.

From the video, it looked like you had more than that. But then my eyesight ain't what it used to be

is that el desierto de atacama ? if it is you got a nice playground

 

[HotChiliRam]

No, that's not Atacama, I'm preparing the Jeep for Atacama, we ahould be there on January 20th.
Noe we are instaling rounded metal in the sides of the scoop to make it look cleaner.
I will post some pics on Tuesday I hope.

Have a Super new Year, and my best wishes to ya'll for 2010

Here are some pics of how my cowl hood is comming.

Looks much better that it looked before the rounded sides, now we are preparing it for painting, With the paint it should look much much better.

All comments are welcome....

Mmm... cowl hood. :drool: lol

 

[insanity]

Looks like its going to work out great. Are you going to leave it as is or put some body filler in to smooth out the lines?

 

[HotChiliRam]

I would like to smooth a little the lines but I don't know how, what's that body filler?

 

[insanity]

Bondo and some sand paper and a good eye will smooth it out.

Harwood Fiberglass 4in cowl I bought from the JY for $40. Ended up being too long so I sold it,...

That's what I will do with it..... Use a lot of sand paper.

Grinder and a flapper wheel after you knock down the big stuff.

 

[HotChiliRam]
