Ordered a set of run cool hood louvers. Is it easier to take the hood off to cut or just leave it on?

I'd rather not have hot metal bouncing around in my engine bay or off my windshield, so I'd remove it. Either way...that's gonna be a fun job....

Steigered the front left window regulator, regreased the front end ball joints, and took her geocaching in the texas scrub.

I always cover the motor and then just cut away
Be careful where you install them, they are bigger than a lot of others and have seen cause issues with drowning the motor when raining
Buddy installed a set and had to cover the motor every time it rained
And yes new mopar coils etc

I was going to put them roughly where TJKJ2002 had his. He didn’t seem to have issues in that spot.

Not the mountains.
I replaced (with help from a fellow shipmate) the passenger side cv axle and intermediate shaft. That was the most challenging task thus far with the Liberty that I've done but I learned a lot. Putting the front driveshaft back in was cake. It felt great to do the repair and have everything working solid again.

Considered driving it to look at a Rav4 V6 to replace it with. Decided to just fix the passenger window regulator. This Jeep is starting to really annoy me in more ways than 1.

I have the same pan and I used a lubelocker gasket, no leaks yet. the drain plug has a little seep, when i do the fluid and filter I will add an o-ring or flat sealing washer.
The problem with the PML washer is that the inside diameter of the washer is wrong.
It can slide up & down on the magnetic drain plug. Next time it is out find a tighter fitting washer.
Mine was weaping too & I just loosened the drain plug and w/ thin exacto blade, carefully moved the washer upward to center it better & tightened it, no weap since.
BTW I like the New lubelocker gasket sticker, have to install it soon,
The old black sticker as seen in photo, tuned completely black from the sun.

Stainless tip was too much for the all black jeep. So I bought some statin black engine paint for that. The rest of the exhaust is bbq paint. The manifold down to muffler section is still black and no rust after one winter :)

I said if it was too loud I’m tossing it in the trash.
So far it’s on the very mild end. Idle is slightly louder, driving around you get some grunt below 2,000 rpms but after that it’s not anything that will annoy you.
Keep in mind it’s been on for 25 miles so if it breaks in and gets louder I’ll let you guys know
$188 free shipping. All hardware included. Speed daddy brand
