I would GUESS that's for the HVAC system. You need a vent.

Its a different look. I was wondering if you were planing to keep the spare inside the Cargo area? (like the H2 does)If so, are you making some type of mounting brackets to hold the spare tire in the upright condition? (if it fits)

Please explain how that would be related to the HVAC??
I currently have no plans to relocate the vent. Just going fully shaved.
And no spare tire. Living in the city and having road side assistance doesn't warrant having a spare. In fact I can't remember ever having a flat or needing a spare for anyone in my family including myself within the past 10 years, so the frequency of needing a spare just doesn't warrant carrying it around. IF I was to head out of town on a road trip, then yes I would throw it in the back seat.
But damn.......that back door flys open without the added weight now!!  |

Oh, and the spare tire doesn't fit in the back without laying on of the seats down, so the bracket mounting like the H2 can't happen.

Hmmmmm yeah, when I was driving around today I noticed that. I was thinking that was probably what it was there for, but my question is once I get rid of it what happens? Do I get a pressurized cabin?  |

Cool vent, blow the dealers mind and tell him you have a hole in your hummer.
Removing the spare makes me wonder if GOBI is going to put a ladder there for the roof rack??

I took mine off to do the same thing. I taped up the hole and turned the air on. You will notice a huge difference. All of the doors will de harder to close, and you'll have a constant "noise" with the air blowing without a window being cracked open. I am still trying to figure out a way to have a small vent molded in, but have a clean look. Good luck with the project.

All vehicles have this, usually hidden under the rear bumper.
I allows you to close the doors and release the inside air pressure. without it the door will not close because it is to air tight in the cabin.

Okay, I am going to go and test this theory about the vent being there for cabin pressure.
I am pulling out my roll of duct tape, covering up that hole.......and taking it for a spin.
Will post the results for wind-noise\cabin pressure\closing doors\sunroof.....
If it really is that big of a deal, I will just be relocating the vent.....the tailgate will be shaved!! |

I have a good contact up in the NW. A small little body shop off of McKnight in the industrial area there. The shop is called K&J Autobody and the guy to talk to there is keith. I actually picked up his name from a different car forum. He does alot of work with import sport compact cars and their fiberglass body kits. Of course he does everything else too, but it is definately a good price. I got quoted from SHAW nearly $300 more for the same job.

Don't let anyone tape a picture of the duct taped tail gate or it will end up on the Jeep forum
