The hood is from TMD. The side vents are removable and not sure if there is a snorkel attachment available for it but because it has the 6.1L Hemi I was afraid of the air flow restrictions with a snorkel so I never checked. I have had it places that I could of used a snorkel but I try to keep water under the doors.

Also, someone asked if they were legal, yes they were legal, the fenders can extend out as far as the tires do and I took about 1/4 inch off the width just to make sure it was not too wide.
It had a hard time getting through tech inspection though, the questioned my "lift kit", the total height, the extra tire for a spare, and even the fenders. But in the end it all came out completely legal.

Bumper/frame laws
I miss Hampton Roads but I do not miss having guys messed with for bumper height/frame height laws. Funny bc NC drivers would be riding high! I do think there is such a thing as too much lift, but only for the case by case rigs. Do you head up to WV to wheel duglas?

Just thought I would share some pictures of my son's Pinewood Derby car for this year. I thought because it would be slow so I did not really do anything to it for speed but he ended up in 4th place and only 0.2 seconds slower than 3rd place over 6 races combined. I ( I mean my 8YO) could of easily gotten 3rd had I tried.. <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=526183"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=526185"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=526186"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=526187"/><img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=526188"/>

I still have the 6.1L JKU. It is still " for sale" but have not tried hard to sell it, but a 5.7L JKU sold on eBay for more than I wanted for mine so I am sure if I tried I could get rid of it. I do not need the money and I will never be able to get one like it again if I do sell it so I have been looking for a TJ or old J20 to make a trail rig. I want something less capable than the JK that I can bash and not worry about hurting or breaking.
