Well i bought a hood deflector when i first got the truck. But now im thinking i like the look without but i cant decide. How much will it really protect my truck from rock chips and so on if i keep it on???? So help me do you like better with or without...and why ?

with:


without:

 

It really does keep the leading edge of that aluminum hood from getting rock chips and dents. I've got the same one, sure they are ugly - but functional.

 

it does not look bad .where can i get the same one

 

i got mine at a local shop called carmic....ill have to look and see if i can find a name brand on it...maybe oldjeep could help

 

Stampede Vigilante is what it's called. Bought mine online somewhere for about $50

 

thanks for the info guys .i will look into it

 

Get the one from the dealer the colour of the truck, you barely see it, there is a silver one on here that has one. I have one at the dealer in black that I ordered but since they pissed me off I am not gonna go buy it. They take a clear one and paint the back and no chips.

 

i have the same one but i got it in chrome, you can bearly tell its there.

 

Well, I hate to say it but the truck definitely looks better without it. But they really work so it is hard to recommend that you take it off. I have always had them on other trucks and they look decent on Fords and Chevys, but not so good on our big honking nose of a front end. I wish they would make a "smaller" one that just fits over the upper front end of the hood and not drop down to the headlights. Anyway, despite knowing that they help, I think I'll spend the money and go with the clear mask film like I had on my Range Rover as it worked great but you couldn't see it.

 

I have the mopar one color matched to my truck (stone white) and you can barely tell it's there, the whole thing is painted not just the back, and it only goes over the high part of the hood at the front, and not down over the edges.... I can try to get pics up if anyone is intesested.
