Reviews for Rugged Ridge 11348.02 Bug Deflector in Matte Black for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK
Looks awesome and really deflects the bug
Great product. Looks great - wanted to "man-up" by 2-dr white Sahara JK by adding more matte black features. Couldn't have been easier to install. Took all of 15 minutes with only a Phillips screwdriver needed. The level 3, advanced, 1-2 hours and the drill icon couldn't be more wrong. In fact, directions clearly indicate that you should NOT use power tools. The only unknown aspect of this product is it's aerodynamic and bug/stone redirecting capabilities. In the fullness of time, will revisit review if capabilities listed in the description are dramatically different with practical use.
I love that there are no holes to drill. The flat black looks great. Easy 10 min. install.
Don't be scared off by the stated 1-2 hour installation time as it is not true. I am not a very mechanical person, and it took me 10 minutes to install. 2 adhesive pads and 2 screws and that's it. The holes you screw in to are already there. Once on, it looks great and it matches the other matte black parts of the Jeep. Time will tell how well it deflects bugs and pebbles, but so far I love it.
This looks great on my JK. The only thing is it does effect the spray of your windshield washer fluid while the vehicle is moving. But other than that I really like it.
Nice deflector but does make a weird noise when on the highway doing over 55mph.
So far so good!
Easy to install, seems a bit flimsy though.
Yes, easy enough to install and it works well.....however, I have a soft top and the airflow changed so that now the soft top flaps up and down while going hwy speeds on the road.
Good looking product; however, as far as deflecting bugs, I saw no change. I just got back from a 800mile road trip and every time I stopped for gas I had to scrub off a ton of bugs. Granted I bought my 2008 Jeep Wrangler with it already installed, so I haven't seen a before and after, but again I haven't seen any deflection of bugs what so ever.
