Drivers side air vent

[Dave]

I thinking deleting it from my project. The plastic is cracked and so I would have to replace it anyway. Thought the extra engine compartment vent would be a good thing. It also frees up room for my transmission cable hookup. Any good reason to keep it on something what will be run mostly topless or with a soft top? Hate to can it and regret it later. Haven't driven an EB in many years. Don't seem to recall using it much back then.

I personally use mine a lot. It's nice when it's raining out and you don't want the windows, top, etc down. I just made a trip back from Lake City last weekend and it was storming (rain and hail) much of the way. It was nice to have the windows closed up and a nice steady steam of cool air coming in at my legs. Also, on long trips, 6hrs +, I get tired of the wind whipping around at high speeds. When it gets hot, there isn't much you can do but drop the top and windows, but it does give you options. My 2 cents...

Thanks.

There is a drop in storage bin that you can get.

Mine has been plated over. That is where my cruise control lives.

I plated over mine and put the ECU up in there. I never used it.

I leave mine open its a great source of cool air when moving...

I going to route the Explorer shift cable through the firewall and and modify a shift column to have a shift arm inside like on the Explorer. The bracket to hold the cable will go right where the airbox or a tool box would sit.

Thanks for your input...
