i just got a set of the lebaron vents today, they are filthy, are they dishwasher safe? some plastic melts

Lebaron hood vents are made out of fiberglass so they are o.k. to wash in the dishwasher if you are so inclined. I have a few sets for sale if anyone wants some. PM me for more details.

I too was worried about rain getting in and as the thought process moved along I came up with this, a single offcenter hoodscoop-like vent that I fabbed out of sheet steel. Why a single offcenter vent you ask? I needed clearance inside for the pusher fan I got from the junkyard! I kinda hurried the construction along with the Moab vacation looming, but it's not like the rest of my truck is bling either. The fan was a bit too powerful, so I cut it back by wiring in part of a spare resistor pack (the one that allows different settings for the interior blower). If you're wondering, on the freeway the flow of air (with the fan off) is from inside to outside, so it's not like my scoop is actually "scooping" anything. The fan came in handy even before I got to Moab. Never previously haveing holes in my hood, I didn't realize my engine smelled so much like burning oil (that problem has alsosince been fixed) and the smell would waft in though the dash. When I turned the fan on, the breeze seemed to push the fumes out far enough that they went up and over the truck rather than in the fresh air intake vents. In the desert the fan worked great, keeping my hood to a respectable temperature. Ever since I bought the truck (8 years ago as a run-down 2wd), driving on a mere warm but sunny day will cause hood to get so hot you won't want to touch it (engine doesn't overheat at all though). No problems now.
Jeep on!

My vote is for the Race Ace Louvers. I won a pair in a raffle, and I think they look pretty nice. About the most bling thing I got on my jeep. (side note: I might be biased, as that is my blue xj on their site!)

I've had vents on mine for over 4 years ago(90 XJ) boat supply ones rain and snow have not been a problem. (Drove back to IL. in winter snow). Cut my spare hood and put vents in it and put on 91 MJ to help cool it down, It runs hot in the summer in traffic. XJ run about 185-200, MJ 205-230. when stopped after driving you can see the heat waves comming out of the vents. I done a hack job on them.

Thanks for dog breed run down. My cousin used to have a pup that looks similar. My terrier mutt is great. We are now looking for a partner in crime for our pup.

I have an idea for a new vent, but haven't determined if my XJ or my GLH will be the first recipient.
