crazyjim Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 And completely flushed the side of their MJ? I had them off yesterday, curious as to how it would look with no vents at all...
Pete M Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I've seen a photo of an MJ like that, so at least one person has done it. Those are the pressure-equalizing ports so I'm not sure if it's all that wise of an idea to seal them. on the other had, my trucks all leak like sieves so they may not be that necessary. :dunno: plus there's the almighty Thunder Chief. :D
Geonovast Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 There's an MJ in Camdenton that has them removed. I haven't gotten close, hopefully next time I see it I'll be able to stop. But from a distance, it looks ok if done properly.
pilotblake Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 I like the vents. Makes these trucks easier to identify in the weeds when driving down the back roads. :thumbsup:
MJ is dead Posted March 22, 2010 Posted March 22, 2010 A few years ago I saw a black mj that had replaced his vents with diamond plate, looked...ok...
crazyjim Posted March 23, 2010 Author Posted March 23, 2010 Hmmmm not sure if I like the look or not... anybody else? I'm worried it'll be too bland there without it. Like this? your image didn't show up..
jpnjim Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Yellow longbed, with no vents. tho I had to paste the address in another window to see it.
ParadiseMJ Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 I did not like them at first and considered the diamond plate idea, but after cleaning things up (and figuring out how they went on) they're growing on me. It definitely makes MJ's easier to identify, as if.
MJ is dead Posted March 23, 2010 Posted March 23, 2010 Ditto. I gotta figure out how to pop them off and spray them with some SEM trim black sometime soon

ggcnash Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I recently saw an eliminator with shaved cab vents, it made me find this old thread. What I'm wondering is if one was to do this would you install a cab vent elsewhere, or would you let it go since our trucks aren't exactly air tight anyways?
88whitemanche Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Previous owner on my truck shaved the can vents but the truck just doesn't look right without them so I out them back on...but there's a truck here with the can vents mounted on the hood.... http://comancheclub.com/topic/31624-project-silver-and-black/page-7 My truck without the cab vents

Did the PO of your truck worry about venting elsewhere. If not have you noticed any ill effects? In the link i noticed the orange truck with cab vents on hood, but no mention of them in thread? Very cool idea, I'm sure he had to cut and open up the plastic vents surely not just cosmetic?
88whitemanche Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 No he didn't do any extra venting anywhere...he just foam the vents up then primered the whole body including the vents...once I knew sort of how to remove the primer around that area I removed the primer and put the pcs back on.... That build irrc he bought that truck like that from a members(jbain) friend that already had the cab vents into the hood...

That build irrc he bought that truck like that from a members(jbain) friend that already had the cab vents into the hood... so he foamed them up then welded steel over it right, or just foam then primer?That other truck is cool, may look the build up to see how he done the hood vents.
ggcnash Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Just Foam and primerThat doesn't seem like that would hold up very well?
Roost426 Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Would be weird to see one without, they are sort of iconic on these trucks I think and as said make them easy to spot quickly.
