Suwanee, Ga. – Rugged Ridge today announced the availability of its all-new Performance Vented Hood for the 2007-2014 Jeep Wrangler (JK).

Inspired by Chrysler’s aggressive SRT designs, Rugged Ridge’s Performance Vented Hood is engineered to provide 50-percent more ventilating surface area over similar designs, helping heat quickly escape from the engine compartment to maximize engine efficiency.

Made from high quality stamped steel, the new Performance Vented Hood uses a factory inner core assuring it fits like the OE hood. In addition to fitting like a factory piece, Rugged Ridge ships each of the hoods standard with a rust preventative E-coat that’s ready to be painted. Each Performance Vented Hood can also be ordered in factory matching colors directly from any Rugged Ridge authorized retailer assuring an OE look to compliment the OE fit.

“The design was created to be an attractive way of eliminating the heat that can build up during tough off-road situations,” said Chris Van Buren, Design Engineer at Omix-ADA. “We wanted to give Jeep owners a great quality hood at an affordable price that included an easy installation and a factory fit and finish.”

The Rugged Ridge Performance Vented Hood is available online and through select Jeep and off-road parts/accessories retailers nationwide starting at $699.99.
