88XJSport Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Has anybody ever bought one from these guys? Hows the quality? For 35 bucks it sounds like a good deal.
BLHTAZ Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 Most everyone I know never replaces them when they fall out. I have seen a few conversations on here about them, but the consensus seems to be that they are useless and not worth spending the money on.
88XJSport Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 I figured it would be cleaner and faster to add one instead of trying to sand/paint the surface rust thats starting to show...
88XJSport Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Does it come with some sort of attaching screws? Do you have a pic of yours?
HOrnbrod Posted March 30, 2009 Posted March 30, 2009 I like hood pads. They keep the hood cooler and insulate engine noise. I haven't tried the TeamCherokee version, but the older pads (up to 96 I believe) are too thick (1/2"+) and do not seem to last that long. If you ever have to take them off (like for hood vents), they disintegrate. I found a NOS pad on Ebay for the 1997 and up XJs, and it's a lot thinner, about 1/4", and is molded to the hood, not just a layered rug. Seems to insulate better too. And you can get the 1/4" push pins at Lowes for a whole lot less than TeamCherokee charges. :D
88XJSport Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 Wow the 97+ sounds nicer. I may have to keep my eye out at the JY now for one. Thanks for the push-pin tip also.
88XJSport Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 I got the Team Cherokee insulation. Doesn't fit that well and doesn't do anything for sound reduction or cooling/heating. Got one on mine. It fits pretty good. :redX:

flint54 Posted March 31, 2009 Posted March 31, 2009 The correct retaining clips are available by the gazillions at the JY, need 12 or 13 as I recall, and takes a bit of practice to remove them with a small flat screwdriver without wrecking them. Their wide wings hold better than the round push-pin type fastener, I think.
Limeyjeeper Posted April 11, 2009 Posted April 11, 2009 Ok it doesn't fit PERFECTLY but it is not a total disaster. All the holes don't line up exactly so yes it doesn't fit that well but it is not like you can't make it work. geez
