Review on ๐Ÿš™ Rugged Ridge 11210.17 Jeep Wrangler JK Hood Catch Kit - Textured Black (07-18) by Brett Gilbert

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Falls apart after 125 km.

Installed according to instructions, no problem. Drove 125 miles the next morning, and on a dual carriageway, a gust from an oncoming semi-trailer blew the driver's side to pieces. Pretty amazing! The center latch held the hood in place, so I stopped and turned to pick up the debris from the freeway. When I got out, I saw that the passenger side was also broken. WTF. Luckily I had stainless steel wire and wire cutters. I was able to secure my hood until my new DRAKE (DV8) hood latches arrived. Much happier with the new ones. Why didn't it work? Can't say for sure as most of the parts that could have failed ended up on the freeway and got under the wheels before being evacuated. They may have been turned unevenly from the pin threads that carry all the force of the lock and the minimal thread could not withstand the extreme force. Anyway, very disappointed in these. get refund.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • There are more interesting options.
