Default Raider's "keep tools from dropping down between the bumper and car" project

OK, I had a thread, could not find it. I have dropped so many tools, bolts, etc into the abyss between the bumper and the car (the area where the hoot latch is) and I was suck of it. I am FMIC, so the scoops that bring in the Florida sand in crap were removed, but still got stuff flung in. I needed a cover.

@Etipp98, who works 4 full time jobs 8 days a week, made a template I used as the basis for the prototype pice I hacked out of the comatex, which is like plastic cardboard. Fitment is ok, but my cutting skills did not do well to match the template, so it is a little off. I painted it black and test fitted it using the factory clips and stuff, with 2 sided tape up front on the sides, and 1 clips in the middle.

I saw one problem. The latch left an open hole. I made a cover, and a pull cable. Now it is bright and has a big ass tag on it. Cannot miss it.


Here it is:

It is too big for me to scan. The potential idea, and was given the OK by @Etipp98 to do, was to make a full on piece to sell. Pretty far from final, as we gotta make it and make it perfect, first. Then talk options, like just the paper diagram.

But that is all I want to discuss in this thread about it. It is not for sale as of right now, and IF this does get made, will be in the FS section and will be VIP only to buy.

Shit, if it was that easy! I lost the fucking magnetic pickup tool in there getting a wrench that I had to ultimately use a pincher grabber tool to get both. I lost a couple things in the small area I cannot access.

Let us know when you take logs, if it helped to keep the temps down. So, it is not just a "tool bench" =)

Are we still talking about the car, or are we now talking about your last rectal exam?

I have logs from a few weeks ago, and once I get the AP in a couple weeks, logs will be taken.

I have no more sand in the engine, to that helps.

Looks good! Nice work, but couldn't you just drape a blanket over that area instead? Seems like it would be cheaper and easier..

With a FMIC I'd run the plate on the GenJuan instead of the stock scoops. They're only there to direct air into the TMIC ducting, and block flow to the radiator.

Did that, kept falling off.

Fine, I will remove the FYHN sticker. The yellow-black piece is there for me, and me only, to remind me to take the damn thing off.

Yeah, they have been off, but I still got tons of sand blown in. It's a Florida thing.

Please remember guys this just isn't to keep tools from falling in by the radiator. You are forcing more air through the radiator this way by blocking off the scoop to the hood. Of course this only benefits with fmic as you would no longer have air going to your tmic. I'm sure you all knew this but w/e.
