Description
More Muscle for Your XHD Stinger. Need to make your Jeep's bumper look more aggressive? Add the Rugged Ridge Stinger Guard Accent. This accessory, which looks like a skid plate, attaches to the XHD Stinger to add protection for the radiator and grille.
Built for Toughness. Of course, it doesn't just look tough. The Rugged Ridge Stinger Guard Accent is made of high-strength stamped steel and features a textured black powdercoat finish. That way, it can sufficiently protect your Jeep's radiator and grille from hazards on and off the road.
Designed to Fit. With its contoured shape, the Rugged Ridge Stinger Guard Accent fits the XHD Stinger perfectly. This design allows you to still use your Jeep's winch retaining hook. On top of that, the accent also has eight elongated relief cuts on its primary panel, increasing the flow of cool air to your radiator and grille.
Application. The Rugged Ridge Stinger Guard Accent for XHD Stingers is compatible with 1966-2025 Jeep CJ and Wrangler models equipped with an XHD Stinger.

Great
Looks great and stands out to all around. Easy to install. The bolts from the bumper are needed to install so don't lose those. The stinger does not come with any srees/bolts.

Review shared from Rugged Ridge 2-Inch Receiver Hitch with Wiring Harness (18-25 Jeep Wrangler JL)
2023 - billy4808
A nice addition
Easy to install - I removed the bumper just to say I could, but easily installable without removal. Looks good and is functional for its purpose. The electrical portion was simple as well. Hardest part was getting under the jeep.

Review shared from Rugged Ridge Tube Doors (97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ)
2006 Wrangler -
Good, but
Constructed well, finish looks good. Instructions didn't reflect the need to attach the hinges and adjust the door alignment. Pictured them welded to the tube. No adjustments allowed me to keep my Rugged Ridge door sill guards, they had to go. Other than that they would have gotten a 5 star review. Oh, really no need for key locks on tube doors, cute though.

Nice Kit
Nice little trim kit. This is my first Jeep so I'm learning while I change most of this. Took me about an hour and some change to get it all installed I would say that I did it again maybe 30 minutes to do it all.
