Rugged Ridge Hood Guard Body Armor for Jeep Wrangler TJ | Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO), Black Diamond | 11650.17 | Fits 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ

I love the way it looks on my jeep!

So this is a decent product, just seemed a little pricey to me for what it is. Installed on my Jeep after repainting. The included tape didn't hold, a couple of screws were necessary to keep this in place. Overall I like it.

It's perfect.But way too expensive for a piece of plastic that was vacuum formed worth about 10 bucks.

Super easy to install, but it flew off driving down the road. Adhesive does not hold. Tough to get a refund on something you no longer have.

I bought this for my TJ and it lasted not even 6 months. It only screws into the hood in 2 locations at each end under the hood. The rest of the mounting process is by use of 3M tape. At city speeds this is sufficient, but not for highway. I was driving down the interstate at about 70 mph and I watched it start to lift and flutter meaning the 3M tape had stopped holding it down. Then it snapped out of no where and was gone. When I stopped, it had ripped off and snapped at both sides where it screws down, all of the 3M tape was gone. It clearly does not have a good enough installation to be secure at highway speeds or heavy wind. I followed the installation instructions to the letter, but was leery about the longevity of this hood guard. It needs to be redesigned to have more screw type mounts for securing it. Its too bad, it looked really great and I got a lot of compliments on it.

Easy to put on. Not wanted to have the guard lat flat on my hood I place 4 self tapping screws under the lip of the hood and placed little rubber bumpers to keep the guard from slapping on the hood and damaging it. Great product overall and fit well.

Everything was good, but I did everything like have for years using the 3M tape and had one section that would not stick and now I have a gap, I'll fix it, but not happy, wish I would have purchased a better part.

As with most rugged ridge body panels I've dealt with, this fits well enough for installation but is not exact down to the centimeter. Double sided tape seems to hold well enough, but I do recommend you install the screws on the sides. It does not tell you on the description but you will need to drill two small holes inside your innerhood and run a screw through the hole and into the armor. Technically you could get away with tape only, but for long use and driving higher speeds I would recommend the hardware as extra precaution. Overall, decent product, just beware the product is not cut to exact specs and may be longer on one side than the other.
