Hood vent from Hummer H3/H2?

[winkosmosis]

I was looking at the hood vent on a Hummer H3 following me in traffic today (even 2pm traffic is crazy when it snows in Houston).

Are the vents on the H3 and H2 functional? If so, do they have drip pans? Any reason they couldn't be used on an XJ?

how were you going to deal with the channel that runs up center of the hood if they are? I am not sure it would be worth the effort, and I do not think you would find those parts for cheap in the junkyard either.

Ignore the channel, just like the folks who use the big Plymouth Laser vent

The vent on my wifes H3 is not functional. Just for looks.

All this talk of drip pans.... Is this really neccesary? Or only of you that live in places that get real weather?

Not Functional on the H2 either.

I don't like the idea of dripping water where it shouldn't be. There is stuff that can corrode, short, or crack from uneven cooling. Just ask the people who wash their engines with them running then post on forums that they broke something.

Cheaper than I thought. I think I like the H2 one better since it's more squared off and has those cool handles.

Too bad it's not a real vent. Seems like a hassle to cut out all the little slits.

although this is very cheesy http://www.bestop.com/index.php?s=64 bestop sells one...I'm sure you could actually make it functional instead of just being the stick on POS that it is.

Ask all the people who run the LeBaron hood vents. None of the locl XJ's with LaBaron vents have any issues with thunderstorms, automatic carwashes or snow/ice.

so far so good. its nice to see the heat just flowing right out.. open the hood after a 3 hour drive and have it be "warm" but not 350*..

the downside is, i cant really "warm up food" like some folks do under the hood.. :laugh:
