Forgot to mention... Although I didn't do any airflow/temperature testing, I always noticed how the snow would always melt on the drivers side close to the middle/front of the hood -- so I thought that would be the best place (outside of the x support) to let the heat out.

Looks a lot less Hummer-esque than I expected it to when I read the title of the thread! Your Jeep looks great!

I like it. Functional and looks good.

So far, I like the Spod very much -- very clean install, professionally built, and professionally packaged for shipping. I did get the airguage version just released for the JK, and with the angle of the switch panel and the height I keep the seat at, the guage points down a little too low to be able to see the entire face when driving -- but since it remains at 120 PSI, that portion is in clear view.

Unfortunately, I installed it the same weekend I cut the hood up, so I don't have anything connected to it yet since the Jeep has been in the shop for a week as of today.

It's not over the battery, just over the fuse box and air intake. When you get the kit, the install instructions also describe how to make a rain diverter, but I didn't bother.

i like that look. i'm not brave enough to do something like this myself. i'd have to send it off to a body shop. but it does look very good.




i get that as well... i think its because the computer is under that spot. its that silver "wall" like thing with the 4 big plugs in it. i've noticed that it'll get burning hot year round. i think thats why that spot on the hood always warms up first. so good idea putting a vent right over it.
