Re: LF Misc Underhood YJ Parts
I will second that big time!
I just posted a photo over on alt.binaries.pictures.autos.4x4 of a YJ
that didn't know he had an air scoop below his headlight. He got about
two feet farther than the photo before the engine hydrolocked.
He was lucky, low rpm and no damage. We had to pull the plugs to get
the water out.

Re: LF Misc Underhood YJ Parts
As far as I know Bill, only the round flex hose to the manifold for hot
air is an emissions part.
Some YJ's have that square intake tube, some don't. Steve Seppala
bought his YJ new and it didn't come with the hose, Snowboardripper also
bought his YJ new and it has the square hose, much to his surprise when
he followed my into water over the hood and got hydrolocked.

Re: LF Misc Underhood YJ Parts
Hi Mike,
If we install an after market filter, we then have to hook up an
cool air box like:
http://www.tuneshops.com/order-Auto~...ake-1-4629.htm
to make it California Air Resources Board Approved. I suppose we could
snorkel it out the top of hood, but it won't be left open under the
hood.

Re: LF Misc Underhood YJ Parts
LOL!
OK....
So what the heck is up with some stock YJ's having a duct or not.
Oops, I am in Canada where all you need is the hot air tube, ok, point
made.
