I might be going to Colorado Spring next weekend to see/help a fellow club member install the 4” lift. :D

I've got snow on the brain...

That cowl looks cool, but It'd probably fill up with snow, which would be hard to clean out. It would probably muck up the wipers.

Anyone know if the sway bar links are connected or disconnected in this photo?

Can you give us a drivers view with that cowl on? How does it affect lifting the hood?

I think they are still connected or the front end would be sitting a little closer to level.

Sway bar links are connected, I've been thinking of getting a set of disconnects from Jeepin' by Al. The wiper cowl is a Lund I got it from Auto Truck Toys but Jeepin' by Al was looking into being a distributor.
The hood goes up and down fine it's held on with "head-lock tape" which is a plastic velcro, so you can remove it which I do in winter so it doesn't fill up with snow! Joe :wink:

I would think it might be better to have on in the winter. Snow accumulation is not a big deal. I am thinking of how it might deflect air from the windshiled and decrease the blades and windshield from icing up.

I was thinking the same at first. But then thought if it fills with snow, & you turn on your defroster the snow will start to melt, but will re-freeze again to ice as it cools back off. Then, with the cover on, it will be harder to clean off.

That's what I was hoping. I'm ordering my 4" kit today, but with the disconnects.
