Construction & Design

The over-rider hoop is expertly crafted from high-quality aluminum tubing, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. The textured black finish not only adds to the aggressive styling but also provides added durability against scratches and environmental elements. Rugged Ridge’s engineering ensures that the hoop integrates perfectly with the XHD aluminum bumper’s design, maintaining structural integrity while keeping the overall weight low.

While the bumper itself is made entirely of aluminum to reduce weight, the over-rider hoop retains the trusted steel XHD D-rings, ensuring dependable recovery points during off-road use. The design also incorporates precise cutouts and mounting locations for factory fog lights, preserving essential lighting without compromising style or function.

Installation & Fitment

Installation is straightforward, as the over-rider hoop bolts directly onto the Rugged Ridge XHD aluminum front bumper without the need for drilling or modifications. This bolt-on design allows for quick upgrades or removal, making it convenient for Jeep owners who want to customize their vehicle’s front end. The product is specifically engineered to fit Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018 with 3.6L or 3.8L V6 engines, ensuring a precise and secure fit.

If you plan to add a winch, the built-in top filler plate can be easily removed to accommodate the optional JK winch mounting plate, providing versatility for various off-road setups.
