Rugged Ridge hood vents
I wanted to make my lifted 2016 2 door Sport S with 35” look a little cooler so I thought I would install some vents in the hood. I figured it will look nice and maybe help dissipate the heat of the engine a little as well help with hood flutter. Anyone own the Rugged Ridge hood vents?

I can't speak to those vents in particular, but I have a PSC hood louver. I'm sure ventilation helps the general engine bay a tiny bit, but don't expect any miracles. As you know, mainly for looks, which are all subjective.

Thanks for the reply! The PSC hood louver is awesome, but was a little too expensive right now because I’ve been spending money on this Jeep like there’s no tomorrow.👍

That's my bucket of bolts. Got new BBK with MC/booster and a Red Neck Ram (hydro assist steering) this last week. Oh, and BedRug carpet. I saved up a long time for this big round of upgrades. Slush fund ain't what she used to be. |

Just installed the Fox 2.0 performance shocks and also changed the factory six speed shifter with the B&M short shifter and the B&M stick. Also just put in the Windbooster 2S throttle pedal control device and been using the Sport+ mode turned all the way up and loving it. I installed a catback borla exhaust with touring muffler and dual exits and a cold air intake, now you can really hear it rev.

If you want I make a list of all my upgrades. It’s not as impressive as yours but it pretty nice. By the way your Jeep it freaking sweet! I’m a little jealous.
