Lame title, I know... just clean it right? Here’s the thing, it’s more than just that it’s dirty. I have a body lift on my Wagoneer, and I think the gap between the frame and the inner fender liners contributes to A LOT of dirty water getting into the engine bay. Like everywhere. The underside of the hood is soaked in muddy water and I am worried about the engine ingesting water. I am still running a closed type air cleaner that has a plenum, but even like that I find muddy water residue in the cleaner.
Have any of you guys done anything to deal the engine bay up a little more? I’ve seen aftermarket “gap guards”, but nothing for an FSJ, and I’ve seen suggestions like hurry rigging up rubber floor mats to fill the gap, but that seems chintzy as hell! What do you guys think?
