Reviews for Rugged Ridge Aluminum Hood Catch for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
These hood catches are really nice, good power coating easy to install and adjust. Will last the life of the jeep.
Quick easy upgrade to your jeep. Looks awesome on mine. Highly recommended. Great quality worth every penny
I have a wind deflector on my hood and it caused the worst hood flutter going down the highway with the factory rubber tie downs. These are absolutely awesome. Perfect fit, complete elimination of hood flutter and they look great.
These are fantastic and give your Jeep an instant upgrade. The stock latches fade within a year. These are really heavy and give a beefy look to the hood. While installing mine one of the bottom latches popped and I discovered it was stripped (probably while being inserted at the factory). I called Quadratec and they sent me a replacement right away. Great customer service. Can't buy Jeep parts anywhere else but here.
Installation is a breeze. I find if you remove the front grill (takes minutes) you have enough room to work and not deal with socket extensions but I'm sure that way is easy too. Excellent product. Very happy with these.
After watching the YouTube video, this was an easy installation. The video showed only the driver side, but the installation on the passenger side is easy if you go in from underneath with extensions and universals. The end result is no hood flutter. This is well worth the time and money.
Love these ! Great, durable, nice looking hood buckles ! ! Installation? Well, all I can say is "be patient". No mention in the instructions about removing the grill, but I found it MUCH easier to install these with the grill removed. At first, I tried without grill removal, but then I gave in and took it off and everything went smoothly.
Great product. Only bad thing I can say about Rugged Ridge is that the kit comes with two sets of binding posts. One set would not tighten up like it should. I called Rugged Ridge and they wouldn't send me another set. They just said handle the warranty issue through Quadratec. Luckily, Quadratec was awesome. They next day air'd me the entire kit and even commented that Rugged Ridge makes it a pain on matters such as these. A+++++++++ for Quadratec. Will definitely continue to get my business.
Great product Easy install
Well made easy to do upgrade looks and performs well
Great looking and well built. I was sad to discover that I could not complete the installation as my Bushwacker 11.75" fender flares did not have clearance to install the base. Just an FYI for anyone else that might have these fender flares.
