Looks good. I can't wait to get my JK so I can get the hood as well. Until then I will be jealous.

UAE JK - are you somebody I know? :D

Love AEV's hood on my TJ... if I got a JK I'd definitely do the same again. Works great in the heat in our part of the world :)

Will the Hoodlift product work with the AEV Heat Reduction Hood?

[JeepinJon]

I was wondering this myself as most dealerships aren't too careful when working on our Jeeps, and could dent / scratch the hood. This may help to prevent this.

[Screamin Lizard Customs]

Hey Hey, I'm always careful with hood props.:D

[AEV Matt]

Hood lift seems to work fine with the hood. The UAJK has one and I know Dave sent the weight of the AEV hood to Hoodlift. The AEV Hood is about 30% heavier than stock. Its been gauged up to 1mm thick inner and outer, vs the OE 0.7mm.

I don't know what the weight difference is on the TJ version - but I love my AEV TJ Hood + Hoodlift Combo. :)

[jeepyjcj]

Any idea how the heat reduction hood would go with the Diesel version of the JK?

I think I heard/read that you can not put the windshield down with this hood? Please confirm. What would happen if you did (assuming I added the bumpers and loop myself?). Would it just sit higher?

I believe that the hump in the center actually would be taking all of the weight, unlike the stok hood which spreads it across the entire hood. I know AEV didn't design the hood with the intent of folding the windsheild down.

[offroader613]

Yeah, because most people don't fold the windshield anyway.

well, you know what they say about Blondes....:)

Seriously though, we don't recommend lowering the windscreen with the AEV hood. In fact the hoods are made without the holes for the rubber bumpers. The gals above obviously drilled a hole prior to paint for the rubber bumpers and test fit it first.

Some people shouldn't be allowed to drive a Jeep. I doubt it was moving for the picture, but I don't see the hood bumpers, or the tie down strap.

[AEV Dave]

yeah but they're having fun.

[Mowabb]

Ahh, now I see the "rubber bumpers". :p :eek:

[Jdemonto]

I wish I was in the back seat...SHHHH


Don't tell the wife..LOL


I am not sure I would ever fold the curved window down anyways..it looks strange:D

[offroader613]

I wouldn't mind just having the truck, let alone other things. ;)

[JeepinJon]

Is that a new package deal from AEV? Buy the hood and get the blondes? :D

[offroader613]

Buy one heat reduction hood from AEV and get two blondes at no extra charge!*
