Default Vacuum Pump Exposed
I replaced my from bumper on my 2013 Wrangler and now my vacuum pump is exposed, should I cover it somehow to protect from elements?
Any recommendations on how?

Thanks,

Mike

Thanks, thought about that but then heard some issues with noise when relocated. I was able to cover with my winch cover for now. At least a temporary fix.
Thanks again.

Mine has been exposed for over 3.5 years. No issues. If your bumper doesn't force you to relocate, I'd just leave it as is.
