Rugged Ridge is a leader in the truck and off-road parts and accessories market. Yesterday they announced the release of new exterior products for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. This announcement makes Rugged Ridge one of the first aftermarket brands with parts available for the JL. One of the most significant releases from Rugged Ridge is their new Spartacus front bumper that utilizes a state-of-the-art steel stamping process to create a strong bumper that is lighter than most other aftermarket steel bumpers. The Spartacus bumper also allows customers to retain factory foglights and towhooks. Also new from Rugged Ridge are its XHD aluminum hood catches, constructed from high-quality cast aluminum and engineered with an adjustable torsion rod for better fit from vehicle to vehicle. They’re available in Black, Silver, or Textured Black powdercoat finishes. Rugged Ridge introduced two new wheels specifically designed with the JL in mind. The 17x9-inch Jesse Spade Wheel features a hub-centric design and an exclusive valve stem pocket that protects from potential off-road damage. And the 20x9-inch Drakon Wheel is for the customer that wants a larger wheel for improved appearance without sacrificing off-road performance. This wheel is constructed with lightweight cast-aluminum alloy. Both new wheels are available in Black Satin and Gun Metal Satin finishes. Rugged Ridge also introduced their new Elite Antenna Base for the JL, made out of cast aluminum. These antennae bases give the JL a unique and distinctive rugged look, and are available in raw aluminum or black or red powdercoat finishes. All of Rugged Ridge’s JL accessories are backed by their five-year limited warranty and are available online and through select Jeep and off-road accessories retailers nationwide.
