I like THAT look. I have an AutoCAD design of a thru hood snorkel for my CRD (Diesel), which comes straight up thru the hood from the OEM filter box, (offset to the passenger side) with a swiveling air scoop, sort of a ram air scoop for dry weather, but it turns backward off road/low speed to...

Mine are stock Liberty (2006) racks but I want MORE.....exhaust pipe, that's a great idea.....easy to have bent to custom configuration. I have a mig welder, so thin metal is no problem. Gonna try it. Thank you so much for the information and the idea. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Thanks for the information..Do you know the metallic composition of the rails? Aluminum, Steel? Reckon I could weld/braze a small diameter basket grid across the roof, between the existing rails, with an extension forward and rearward, welded to the existing rails.....to somewhat maintain the...

If yer gonna stay stock (no lift) like me, you need a winch....like me. Not expensive and a fairly easy install with some angle steel and a few drilled holes....in the angle, not the Jeep. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Head'd to the woods for deer season with 3 hunters inside so my treestand, cooler and fresh water had to tag along behind.....straps to the roof took out the rack rattle off road. Added roof rack, Plano boxes and a winch since this picture. Used the new winch to lift and skin a 300lb Florida...

Overland Jeep Trip with the in-laws.....my KJ had to pull em both out 3x and 2x respectively.....my little IS - CRD - KJ did some belly draggin' but didn't get stuck once..... Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

If yer gonna stay stock, with no lift kit, ya need a winch. I fab'd frame reinforcing brackets and recessed a Smittybilt 9500 winch back in the plastic bumper, thereby retaining turn signals, running lights and a built in, not scab'd on appearance. An aluminum full belly skid plate is...
