dasbulliwagen Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 It should be an unwritten rule that to be called a Jeep, its hood should open to almost 90 degrees like the CJ's, Wranglers and our trucks. I was working on a Commander today to change the spark plugs and the hood only opens to about 45 degrees! It doesnt let any light in, and makes it difficult to work on stuff.... Just my 2 cents!

jimoshel Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 And a darn good two cents. :agree: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 Don't install a Reflexxion cowl hood then. The hood won't open past 45 degrees unless you pull off the right wiper arm. :fs1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_wizard_of_fire Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 but doesnt the fact that you wrote it down now mean that its impossible to be an "un-written" rule? :clapping: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oizarod115 Posted February 24, 2010 Share Posted February 24, 2010 what is this 90* you speak of? my hood fits perfectly but unlike ALL my friends cherokees, the hood tries to junk out the wiper blades to get to the second support rod cutout. my volvo on the other hand, and many others as well, go up to a full 90 which is amazing. (none of that late model BS does though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Closer, but it still looks like a$$.
