Rugged Ridge Introduces New Hood Louvers For ’07–14 Wrangler JKs

Keeping cool on the trails can be difficult when the terrain is mountainous and difficult to traverse. Thankfully Jeep Wrangler JK owners have a new solution in the form of these hod louvers from Rugged Ridge. They’re designed to get the heat out of the engine bay while retaining the factory hood.

Official Release:

Rugged Ridge’s new Hood Louvers for the ’07-’14 Jeep Wrangler JK are a more affordable alternative to an aftermarket hood as a way of lowering off-road engine temperatures.

The new JK Hood Louvers from Rugged Ridge mount to the factory hood and are designed to help promote more effective airflow; alleviating overheating issues some Jeep owners face when operating their rigs at slow speeds under extreme trail conditions for prolonged periods of time.

“We wanted to give Jeep owners a great quality hood at an affordable price that was easy to install and retained a factory fit and finish,” said Chris Van Buren, Design Engineer at Omix-ADA.

An affordable alternative to a full replacement aftermarket hood, such as Rugged Ridge’s Performance Vented Hood, some cutting and drilling is required to complete installation. Made from high quality stamped steel and finished with a rust preventative E-coat, Rugged Ridge ships each set of the hood louvers in the owner’s choice of black or ready-to-paint primer, and includes a set of both black and stainless steel hardware to customize the final look.

Each Rugged Ridge JK Hood Louver is backed by an industry-leading five-year limited warranty and is available through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide starting at $124.99.

Features:

• High-quality stamped steel construction
• Can be ordered in black or ready-to-paint primer finishes
• Helps to alleviate hot underhood temperatures on the trail
