Jeep parts on a Bronco!!!

[GRN_MEANIE]

Yes, that's the one. What dimensions do you want? I'll get an underside pic on Tuesday for you.

I guess what I am trying to consider is will it cover my present hole in the hood.
It 's presently covered by a Duff classic scoop.
It's a circle....my 14" air cleaner easily clears it so maybe 16" circle.
I will go to a slightly lower air cleaner element and tthat jeep louvered cover will be perfect.
Functional and good looking. Aluminum too. Yea...I like this.

I don't need any dimensions from you assuming that's a stock hood in your pic and it's the same as a 1976. I was more hoping for the dimensions from Poison Spyder since the pics on their site make it look bigger than your pic. But I was looking at it yesterday and guess the middle hump is pretty big on the Bronco. Maybe it's just the angle of your pic that makes it look a bit smaller. I'm going to call them on Tuesday and get going on this. Thanks for the pic and motivation!

Pulled the trigger on this today. 4WD Hardware is doing free shipping until midnight if anyone is serious about picking one of these up.

Any under hood shots yet?

Hey guys there are several dealers who sell them with free shipping any time. I recommend Rebel Off-Road but I think Northridge 4X4 and River City Off-Road also offer free shipping. They all sell for the same price since we police our advertised pricing policy pretty strictly. You can also buy them directly from Poison Spyder but we don't do free shipping, that's one way we give our dealers a leg up so we're not competing directly against them.

Also for anyone looking at the JK Hood Louvers note that there are two different year models for them. The only difference between the two is that the 07-12 has a single windshield washer nozzle hole, while the 13+ model has holes for two nozzles. I know it doesn't make any sense but hey that's Jeep for you LOL...also note that they are available in either bare aluminum or powder coated black.

I know we're not set up as a vendor here, so apologies of this isn't kosher. Just trying to provide some info for those looking into these.

I got my hood louvre today and it looks awesome. Only question is should I bend and shape it to match the hood bump or let the screws do that.

How did you do that Dusty?

It's gonna look awesome and work great I think!

 

[Crush]

I like it

 

[BlueGhost93]

That looks great! You going to cut under it so it actually vents or just for looks?

 

[jlylec]

Oh yeah I'm gonna cut it. I'm all about function!

 

[bronconut73]

Oh....it's not open underneath?

Pictures please....

Lol

I really like this thing.

 

[GRN_MEANIE]

I let the screws do mine. There is a little kink on the front, I started by the windshield and worked toward the front evenly on both sides. I'd probably try another way.

 

[GRN_MEANIE]

It's open if you cut it open. I'll get a pic in the a.m.

 

[GRN_MEANIE]

Factory support braces did not need to be cut out. They were cut out by a previous owner.

I may bend mine just a little first then. Only a little. Thanks for the pic of the underside too. I guess you don't have to cut out four smaller holes like the template shows. Probably easier that way. I was wondering about the factory support in the middle running front to back. I'll probably try to avoid cutting that although do you notice any floppiness in yours gone?

I'd say just let the screws pull it into shape. You might want to make the screw holes in the hood slightly over-sized to give it room to adjust slightly as it curves.

Also, for those wondering about the measurements. I happened to see a cheat sheet on one of the sales folks' cubicle wall. I guess they get asked the dimensions a lot. Anyhow I snapped a pic of it for you guys, it has measurements written in for each of the different Jeep model hood louvers.

 

[TTTGOWYO]

Very cool. I like this idea. It is something different. Just like anything, it will always look better on a Bronco than a Jeep.

 

[GRN_MEANIE]

Can't say for floppynes as I've never had a hood with the braces. I can say it's better since I welded in the small peice of round tube and added the louvre. I'd leave all the supports you can.

Just purchased the Poison spider JK louver
It actually fits pretty good.
Hoping for reduced under hood temp

Thanks for sharing, now I'm locked into the louvre approach, it looks better imho than the scoop designs that are available.
