if anybody wants some billet hood spacers I made for and took off my jeep. let me know. I would have given them to 2A if I would have known he was going to do this

I installed the same fuel rail shield, didn't think about the hard line great tip. It solved my heat soak issue on my daughter's XJ. Great video!

Glad that it fixed her issue! I hope it does the same for us and I’ll have an update post or video when we do our first hot weather trail run.

I have trouble with the heat from the header melting my motor mount bushings. I have the hood spacers so I'm going to try header wrap and see how that works. After watching you put this kit on I'm going to try that. Really looks good 👍

Damn that’s some radiating heat! I hope the header wrap and fuel injector/rail kit helps too. Thanks for watching!

I have often wondered if the hood vents contribute to cps failures by allowing water down on it.

@2AOverland 2 жыл бұрын

I honestly don’t know 😬 in theory it could but being in az we don’t get much rain. So I’ll have to be careful at the car wash then

upgrading to 4 hole fuel injectors also helps.(or 12 hole injections)

@2AOverland 2 жыл бұрын

Great tip! Thanks for watching! Did you install 4 hole injectors? If so what did it do to your gas mileage?

@fabguy276 2 жыл бұрын

Agreed. I’ve never had heat soak with 4 hole injectors. It also seemed to help mileage 1-1/2mi per gallon

@cosmicsea.9169 2 жыл бұрын

4 hole injectors was a good upgrade for me. The throttle response was much better. All I can say about MPG is that at least it didn't get worse for me 🤷‍♂️

None yet. It seems to be venting more air so it’s a little cooler. On our way to overland expo west we didn’t hit 210 til we were almost there. We drove about 170 miles

So would u recommend the spacers over the hood vents??

If you could do both I would go that route but if I had to choose between the two I’d go hood vents

@graysongurksnis1640 Жыл бұрын

Would it be possible to add the heat shield without taking out the injectors? I just put in new injectors and would rather not do that whole job again if not absolutely necessary.

@2AOverland Жыл бұрын

You would have to cut it up and slide it in there between the injectors but I would suffer again and pull the injectors 😬

@Jsnake513 10 ай бұрын

I cut mine up and slid it. I didn't want to remove injectors
