Sound dampening under hood

[badlieutenant]

I’ve noticed some TJ’s have a lad attached to the underside of the hood. The one I saw in person looked OEM.

It was an LJR just like mike but an 05.

I’m curious if it is effective and how it effects heat dissipation in our already too hot engine bays.

I don't know what a "lad" is. But this might help. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/how-to-sound-deaden-the-interior-of-your-tj.16153/ He's applied sound deadening material to his hood. With positive results thus far.

Our LJ came with a "hoodliner". We removed it during the heat extractor install. The sound level with / without hoodliner is equal.

My '06 LJ Rubicon did not come from the factory with sound deadening under the hood.

If you still have it and it's in good condition I would purchase it from you.

Not really the type of stuff & size you want to ship anywhere... it is in good shape though

Autocorrect fail..

Should read “pad”.

Most all of these heat shields have aluminum as the means for reflecting heat.
If an under hood pad is used, the aluminum side of the product will be facing down, which will reflect the heat back toward the engine.

I.can see a pad working somewhat as an under hood sound deadener but not as something to reduce engine heat.

There are 2 ways to reduce heat..
1 is by using vents or louvres which allow the heat to escape on its own which it does very well if given the chance, and
2, by removing it physically by using a fan or some.such.thing to blow the heat away, my .02.

If you're a European you just saw a person about to be tortured and should call the police instead of posting it here I know you mean "pad"
