Working 4 hours on Sat. followed by a 2 hour (R/T) drive
and 4 more hours with the in-laws. There is no joy in Muddville for me.

yeah, that too... :roll:

Got both, and the electric impact, too.

The ratchet is a butterfly type... haven't used it in 12 years,
but it worked back then.

Had to make a couple of tight turns today - guess what I heard? A loud "pop" each time.

Caster is a non-wearing angle. If it goes straight, you will be fine.

Jeep rides nice & straight...guess I won't worry about it. Thanks, Tom (and Steve)!

I will never $*#&^ing! recommend these Pontiac GTP hood louvers to anyone. :twisted:

Got the RH side done, will finish the LH side tomorrow.

Did you do the cutting or did you make someone else do it? :lol:

I did it. I went to Harbor Freight and bought a Chicago Tools "body saw" and that thing is a piece of crap. I've gone through 8 blades just to cut one side. I need to go back and get a couple more spare boxes of blades. But basically the louvers are a pita getting them to mount flush in the hood. I'm using screws with washer's & "Black Jack" roof cement.

I'll post pics when I'm done.

Where did you go - behind your property?

Can you say Teraflex ? :wink:

Well I managed to install both hood louvers.

The second one went much easier than the first. I only used 3 blades in the "body saw". I'm going to have the hood repainted and I need some detail work done to the louvers. I'm thinking I may have them painted Jeep black to match the hood.

Oh yeah, someone really needs to take this "body saw" away from me before I start looking for more places to cut on the KJ. :shock:

that looks great!

and yea, my fender flairs were from the back yard pit

and the idea of painting the louvers the same black tone would be a lot more professional looking if ya kno wat i mean
