Hey just wondering has anyone put louvers on their jeep? and has it reduced the heat under your hood? I am thinking about doing it but would like some first hand input before I go cutting metal. I have found on other forums that it does help but more info is never a bad thing, thanks.

I went with the GenRight louvers. They did make a difference for sure!

It did when I was running a 350 but my 4.0s and 2.5s never had a problem.

Thanks for the info, with the 304 it does get a little hot under the hood

I think the PSC single piece louvers are awesome looking ( I prefer the look of a single piece over multiple). http://shop.poisonspyder.com/Jeep-TJ-LJ-Hood-Louver-p/14-53-011.htm
I've researched it heavily in the past and found nothing but positive feedback. Definitely something I'm going to do if I ever get this other mound of parts installed.

that one looks mean but with my k&n filter I need the ones that don't go in the center of the hood so water don't go right down on it
-
I have 1 may put in ..never know how HOT my 2.5 gets!..? </LMAO/>

the temp guages on the tj are really dummy guages. They are accurate to a sence but to really see you need a better guage.
If you want cooler air to come into the engine then get a cowl induction. I forgot the guys name but he made them and sells them on rubicon owners forum. They have been tested by members and have actually gotten better mpg. The inside cab noise was increased slightly but the air conditions temps also was a little cooler too.

I thought about doing the cowl but not sure on either way yet just tryin to get info so I don't do it one way and wish I had done it different. I even thought about getting the small fan for the a/c off one of our junk Isuzu trucks and mounting it under the louvers, but that might be a bit much

I have been thinking about doing the Poison Spyder grill for the Jk. Just scared to cut hood.

I dont know about hood vents but I had side vents (just behind the front tires) on a car back in my car days. The vents were originally just a fake plastic piece but with a little work from a dremel they became real vents. Not sure if they ever made a difference since must factory temp guages are not that accurate but I know after driving a little while and then sitting at idle you could feel the heat coming out of them. I have thought about drilling holes in the side panel on my Metalcloak fenders to give some air flow.
