Default 2007 Sahara 2DR
There's a 2007 Sahara 2DR (Jeep Green w/ Khaki soft top) sitting at Landers sporting JK-forum stickers. Anyone know who owned that JK (It's not Bulldawg's - his is an X)?

Also saw a 2010 Islander with the festive blue seats. Wonder if they bring these in from outside, or if they were really local Jeeps.

Stuff gets shipped all around the region. When I traded mine it wound up in Gadsden.

Yep I've been busy Actually I've got several things on the to do list before the hemi

Actually I'm keeping a lookout to see if a Pentastar kit comes out. I think those are going to be pretty promising at a fraction of the hemi price.

I looked at doing this, but I decided against it. I'm planning on having a body shop weld in my louvers from underneath the hood so the it's more of a seamless look on top. Might try to get that done in December when I'm on break.

Oooohh, I know the answer to this one - to allow engine compartment heat buildup to escape, thereby improving engine exothermic transfer under the hood which in turn lowers engine operating temperatures, improving overall efficiency and hopefully improving fuel economy.

NO, NO, NO, JK-Rubi. Don't you know it's because those 70's fads are coming back into style.

I agree that this is to many. I found a die today that does 10" wide 7/8 tall louvers. My metal fab guy has it, might be the route to take, just a few in the center of the hood.?????
