Review on SQQP Hood Latches: Locking Hood Catch Kit with Premium Aluminum Alloy 🔒 Construction for Jeep Wrangler JK JKU (2007-2018), JL JLU (2018-2021), and Gladiator JT (2020) by Sheppard Priest

Like almost every other Jeep owner, I was concerned that my hood was not latched. And as car break-ins and catalytic converter thefts increased in my area, I needed to find something that offered a little more protection. My choice fell between this product and the BOLT lock. I found the BOLT lock to be easy to defeat, so this product was a natural choice. the size). If you're like me and don't have a 13mm wrench, you can use a 1/2" wrench instead, but it's really tight on the bolts. I also recommend having cleaning supplies on hand. You may want to clean the surface after removing the original latches as they are slightly wider than this so some of the old dirt will be visible under the old latches if you don't remove it. Once installed they are quite durable so I'm pretty sure my engine bay is at least protected from most would-be thieves.
