Construction & Design

This hood is crafted using hand-laid fiberglass and resin, ensuring a strong yet lightweight structure that withstands the rigors of daily driving and off-road use. The gel coat finish applied to both the exterior and interior surfaces simplifies the painting process, reducing prep time and allowing for a smooth, professional-quality finish. The integrated ram air tunnel is molded directly into the hood, providing a functional air intake path without compromising structural integrity or aesthetics.

Amerihood’s design retains the factory hinge and latch points, which means the hood installs with minimal modifications, preserving the original mounting system and alignment. The addition of aluminum wire mesh inserts helps prevent debris from entering the intake while maintaining optimal airflow.

Installation & Fitment

Installation of the Amerihood GTR Functional Ram Air Hood is designed to be as straightforward as possible by utilizing the Jeep Grand Cherokee’s factory hinges and latch. However, this hood requires careful dry fitting prior to painting and final installation to ensure proper alignment and fitment. It is important to note that this is not a simple bolt-on part; some hand-finishing and paint preparation are necessary to achieve the best results.

Professional installation or experience with custom bodywork is recommended to properly prep, paint, and fit the hood to your vehicle. Following the dry fit, adjustments can be made to ensure a seamless integration with your Jeep’s body lines.
