RAMPAGE PRODUCTS Air Scoop for Jeep Wrangler YJ/TJ | Smoke, Modified Acrylic | 5305 | Fits 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ / 1987-1995 Jeep Wrangler YJ

Bought this one to replace one I put on 7 years ago when I moved to a climate with 4 real seasons (and lots of snow). These are marketed as increasing air flow, well I never noticed anything more than a placebo effect on air flow, let's face it most Jeeps don't travel fast enough to benefit from the "ram effect". What they do and do well is prevent snow from getting into the vent intake and freezing there, this means your defroster works at 100% as soon as the engine gets some heat in it. The first one stayed on through 7 years of summer heat and winters where snow was deep enough so I had to use a push broom to shove it off the Jeep. The key to getting them to stick is preparation of the surface, I use Acetone to clean the cowl prior to attaching the scoop.

I'd first like to say it fit my '04 TJ very well, installed easily, and looks really cool. I've read a few reviews saying the adhesive gives away quickly sometimes within two weeks. I've had it on for the entire summer and haven't encountered this issue. My guess is they didn't clean the hood prior to setting the scoop or tried placing it multiple times. Although an easy fix for it falling off if you no longer trust auto adhesive is self-tapping screws. I am curious to see how the scoop and the adhesive will fair in the winter and whether the weather affects the bond in anyway. If it does I'll update my review here.As for the functionality of the scoop, I have noticed a fairly decent difference in the power of my AC, and I'm sure I'll see the same thing with the heating. As for keeping engine temperature down I couldn't tell you, I haven't noticed any difference so I can only assume it does help to aerate the engine compartment.Pros:Looks cool, got a few compliments from other jeepers.Improved AC/Heating strength.Easy to install.Cons:Possibility on the adhesive giving out.Collects leaves and other debris, if you want to keep improved airflow you have to keep the vent cleared out.Could interfere with windshield wiper sprayers on certain models where sprayers are closer to the vent and windshield, though it doesn't effect the TJ.

Dont buy this if you own a Wrangler YJ. Investigate the Rugged Ridge 13307.01 "Smoke" Hood Scoop (also avail on Amazon.com) instead. Looks great installed, FAR, FAR sturdier materials, and it actually fits over the hood vent properly. This piece doesnt fit, feels like it would peel away in the slightest of winds, and is made of a thin, transparent plastic similar to rainguards for your side windows. Did i mention it doesnt fit correctly?

Very happy with this. I mounted mine "backwards" with opening facing the windshield. Gets plenty of air flow deflection off windshield, without all the bugs, dirt, rain, etc. from facing front. durable and good looking.

Easy to install with included auto-grade adhesive strips. Keep all those leaves and dust from falling into your Jeep Wrangler intake. My TJ had so much dirt and gunk under the cowl, water was leaking into the cab. I cleaned the gunk out and now with this air scoop / intake cover installed, I don't expect to have to do that again.

I placed the same item on my jeep 20 years ago and it finally cracked and came off this year. I hope this one gives me 1/4 of the life. Nice piece but not quite the same gauge thickness as my old one but fairly priced and good look.

looks great, actually bigger than other brands I have used before which is a good thing. they work better if you actually turn them around and have the open end towards the windshield as the air flow goes down into it better.

I read the reviews before I bought this product. Some rated it low because it didn't fit their Jeep. Problem is they bought it for the WRONG Jeep!! If you buy something for a TJ and expect it to fit a YJ, YOU deserve 1 star, not the product!! Giving the product 1 star just doesn't fix STUPID!! Mine fit my TJ perfectly (because it was made for a TJ). The tape sticks perfectly well too. Especially if you clean the cowl well first. I gave it four stars only because it is over priced. It should really be half the price it's sold for here.

Product is fine. The image in the description doesn't accurately represent the transparency of the scoop. It's very transparent.
