They help? I haven't had any trail time to actually test them out. I can see heat waves coming out at stop lights though. I can't wait till winter, that should be interesting to see.Those are nice looking vents. I did mine this year too. What a difference in operating temperature on those long, slow, crawls.
I really like the lebarons look,, you cant go wrong with those,, but if you ever decide to go with other.. give me a PM I might want your lebarons...those look great, ive got lebarons and im not sure i like the look, still havnt installed them yet.
I agree. Those were what i was originally gonna use but couldn't come up with a set. I ended up finding these vents for $9 each and decided why not. I was skeptical at first but just went ahead with it before my paranoid thinking got to me.I really like the lebarons look,, you cant go wrong with those,, but if you ever decide to go with other.. give me a PM I might want your lebarons...
We had alot of rain, and too many storms lately. jeep fired right up everytime and had no issues with rain since i did the mod. The passenger side vent drips down the side of the engine block and the driver's side vent drips down right on top of the injectors.Mudd how do they handle the rain and (where you live) snow? Are they gonna leak on anything vital? Coil packs?

The only issue i've had with it is the darn screws. They are SS screws from Home Depot but they turn brown after a week or two. I replaced four of them so far.
You expect me to take out all 16 bolts and spray paint them black? Do you know how much work that is? That's like 30 minutes of my life. I dunno if i can do that......but probably will.paint them black
