Review on Rugged Ridge 17750 05 Polished Aluminum by Ronald Taylor

Fast shipping as always from Revain. The installation took about 2 hours. The hardest and messiest part was installing the extended power steering pump line and moving the pump reservoir around. The photos in the instructions are awful, you can't tell them apart and the equipment isn't labeled so get ready to put the puzzle together. It was very difficult for me because I didn't have some fasteners. I had to make a trip to my local Ace shop to get the bolts and gaskets needed to reinstall the power steering reservoir. After installation, the engine sounded good, with a distinct intake air noise and a deep rumble. The exhaust smells greasy and there is a bit of whistling when driving, but that's bearable, I think a different filter would solve the problem. Of course there's a noticeable horsepower gain when driving, which makes a big difference for a small 2.5-litre (they need all the help they can get). I haven't driven it long to see if the fuel economy improves. Hopefully.
