Hood Vents - Jeep Cherokee XJ - The Roadhouse 

Here's my petition to bring this show back!

Purchased these same hood vents for my 98 XJ BECAUSE of this video. Shout out to Rod Louvers in Escondido, CA. Top notch operation! Quality product!

Tip to anybody worried about going too far with the drill bit when poking the holes - tape up the bit to the desired length having a few wraps to bumpstop it when it hits the hood!

Suggestion: Take hood off, lay upside down on saw horses. Mark holes, drill and cut everything. Paint and then reinstall. No mess or worries about drilling into anything under the hood. No misplacement of location. Great video.

Hi, great work. I'm curious about that: What is the engine temperature before and after the vents installation? Thanks AND greetings

If you want to save some beer money on your hood vents, go to the dump and pick up some old microwaves with the vent louvers on the sides. The metal's probably about the same thickness. Cut it out, bolt it up, good to go! You can even have wood grain vents if you find an older nuker and you're not proud.

Just ordered a set of these today. Can't wait to get them installed.

Just got this on my feed again. I miss these guys.

Hey I liked Bleepin Jeep's idea. Lol at least they knew to put wood under the hood to protect the engine. Good video by the way!

Where have y'all been my whole life!?

Diggin the hood vents! I have some on mine, little smaller but get the job done.

"looks like $hit" some big laugh out louds there. Keep it up guys :D:D

yeah mon... those vents are wicked awesome....got me some last year...he will also custom make whatever you want great guy to deal with also

When it rains what keeps water from straming on to your engine and steaming up your windshield?

It's 2020 and I just found your channel. You guys are great! 😎👍

Holy crap I just found this video and you guys are great! Like someone else commented, why you don't have much more subscribers is beyond me. Tommy's facial expressions are hilarious (and subtitles) and the BEER! I think there's a beer in every shot! Keep up the good work guys!

Cool vid... But.....How do these do in heavy rain? Does anybody know?

Those vents look GREAT! Good job guys!

Little behind on the build but with these particular vents.. is alot more water getting to the engine through the vents? They just seem flat with the hood allowing all runoff to flow in

Well my 1999 xj has it but in very heavy rain the tps sensor gets screw have to change it like 4 of them.

I would really like one of those duck bills for a sun visor, they always looked good on the cherokees.

How has that leak seal paint job held up against the elements?

Plate size extractor electric fans work great too(with a switch/heat sensor and a gage).

how about take the hood off to work on the hood, so you don't have a possible big problem. Also, those vents look like air duct vents you can buy at home depot... y'all are talented enough to custom your own.

One of the simple and better mods for a trail rig

Love that!! Awesome!

Great vid. May do this to my grand Cherokee.

"HEY, YOURE NOT THE REAL BILL!" Hahaha you guys are awesome! You guys get a two thumbs up and a sub from me!

love the video i subscribed right after looking for more cool videos in the next coming days :)

can you guys do a video on how to install buttons. for like a light bar or some kc lights. depending kn what you put in your jeep

Great Vid! love it... I just received my own Rod louvers. I'm ready to install them on my XJ... what size drill bit did you use to drill holes?

sold me.... just subscribed!

Nice, I just chopped my hood, this video definitely helped.👍

my question is how do you guys ONLY have 7,500 subs? you deserve WAY more.

Thank you boys. Now i have a new project. Looks great, but how much were the vents??

You guys are pretty cool. I've never seen a way to maybe block off the driver side vent for water proofing, or maybe some kind of shield over the TPS sensor. I have lebaron vents and have gone through two sensors in four months...any ideas? Keep on jeepin. Randy.

What paint did you use. I like the texture look

You guys crack me up, very entertaining videos. Just curious why you don't have Kokanee, or Molson Canadian, posters and other free graft posted on your walls. Not trying to bust your balls, The last time I drank an American beer, was in high school. Mid '80's beer strike with Molson and Labatts. When it was finally over, you could buy Rainer, or Olympia dirt cheap. Not sure if your familiar with the old Dodge bird bath hoods. Mid to late '70's, they added a recess in the hood on both sides of the center rib. It held water, looked kick ass, but when you popped open the hood, all the water ran down onto the unsealed distributer cap on the small blocks. Have pretty much all the parts to convert the '80 to the bird bath hood. I have a hood, the different hood latch, and wiper motor cover. How have people over come this, shy of converting to a big block with the distributer at the front.

For an ignorant beginner, was your comment about the cone filter engine bay hot air intakes a joke? Or would that do the trick without having to cut up my hood to put in vents?

What saw blade do I need

I love how they used the bleepin jeep channels video on putting holes in the hood haha

those are pretty cool, my Poison Spyder louvers came with a template that made things a bit easier

I want to do this on my daily driver, any tips on diverting rain water away from the engine?

Awesome idea great job what about the old teardrop scoop?

You guys are hillarious and the vids are awesome an supper informative keep it up boiz!

I’ve heard you have to be careful not to cut your hood latch cable…😂😂 4:24

I like the grille. How did y’all do it

Is the super duper hot air intake cone a bad thing? I have one...🤔

Good work...I no longer have my XJ but I do have a 93 suburban that I want to build a big Hummer style vent for..I have an idea of how to make it look good by bolting long angle iron to the hood for the sides and then bolting several short angle pieces to the long angle at the correct slant and then bolting 1 or 2 inch wide aluminum slats to the short angles..might seem a little strange for some people but since I'm adding a 6 inch lift and 37s and removing the rear windows Avalanche style and putting round headlights in, I believe I will love it..it cannot compete in looks with a 4dr jeep truck, but it will have a pretty cool and unique look...I just found your channel and like it..am I wrong to assume the asian guy is Mongolian?...they are some of the coolest looking people.

Had me at blue ribbon.

rivets would be much better for this task but they still look sweet

Where did you get the vents?

you guys had me at Pabst haha

Love it, as usual guys! Great Job. What was the spray coating you were using? That looked like it had some pretty cool texture to it.

Please please respond! You still like that LeakSeal stuff for your autobody? I haven't heard of anyone using it for that. Is it durable?

I miss tommy it sucks he had to move back to Japan

I was having over heating issues in my 4.6 stroker xj. until I installed dual ford Taurus fans. with out hood vents those bad boys would blow the mud off the motor and suck up small children when they turned on.

Where have you guys been all my life!!! (No homo). I love PBR (Pure Rebellion) TALL BOYS!! And I subscribed.

looks pretty rad

What kinda paint did you use for hood

Off topic butt. What is the size of the two bolts that hold on the rear leaf spring shackle? I need to get new bolts for my shackle replacement and would like to get them ahead of time.

what brand bed liner did you use on the hood and vents?

Which would cool more at slow or stopped speeds? Vents or electric fan w/ mechanical fan delete? Great video! Subscribed! :)

Drill stops on the drill bit will eliminate some stress, when drilling. Lookititup.

lol, all those empty beer boxes came in handy.

how you keep motor dry?

How do these do against water? Obviously if I'm that deep I'll have bigger problems, but in Washington it rains a solid 360 days a year. Do you think rain would be an issue?

Up top on your jeep above the windshield what is that things that is hanging over called ? I want one for my jeep but idk what it's called .

When are you dropping the diesel engine and the automatic transmission in place???????

if I put that leak seal spray on the entire car. what do you recommend cleaning it with after it gets dirty

hey guys love the channel👍 what bed liner did you use to spray the hood a louvers?

how do I know which way to face the lovers tears the frond air goes in or tward the windshield air goes out which is better

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS H8 YOUR BEER... LMAO GOT BUD LITE CHEERZ BROTHERS !!!

What happens when it rains? Looking into this,i make these at work.

NICE JOB ................

nice!

will it hurt your motor if the rain water gets into your motor

Put some rubber hose o yhe drill bit to keep it from gping too far

can you give a list of what tools you guys used please

where did you guys gt the xj visor from that looks clean boiz...I've Ben trying to get me one of them

This is what my Mercedes needs. Sucker runs hot even after a completely rebuilt cooling system.

Hey what kind spray paint you guys used?

Love the shot at bleeping jeep....

what can of spray you used? thanks

hey, what was that paint stuff?

Dude... should'a fitted them first underside for clearance. Also, in that design what do you do for heavy rain and gettin all your s... wet under the hood? Don't think that design is too "keeping it mostly dry" friendly. 🤔

You guys are funny.

How's it work when it rains?

I’m glad I can learn from your too far back mistake lol

you used the leak seal on the vents?

After watching this I called my mom and thanked her for not sending me to public school.

Damn. I miss the way this channel used to be. and Tommy :-(

Beauty,

Go super duper hillbilly and use furnace return vents for houses. Good steel and the price is right!

I.need some on my comanche

Rodlouvers has shut down their site ☹️

I'm from escondido but man you Bros need to invest in a jeep tj, I'm thinking about starting a channel similar to this one and bleepinjeep.com jeep except strictly for the jeep wrangler tj your guy's videos are awesome though I've seen all of them literally today!
