Advantages: a. You look good. Nice straight profile, unlike shank hooks b. They are very solidly built. Nothing cheap in bolt design.c. They fit HERE. Your hood won't wobble at all even in strong winds. Huge improvement over stock. They're relatively easy to set up, but there's always someone with thin fingers and a magnetic retriever on hand to get the job done. Disadvantages: a. The locks aren't difficult, so a determined thief can easily pick them (but he should pick both, and an easy lock…

Good - Easy to install - Secures hood damn tight - Looks good and reduces Jeep hood wobble for a long time - Comes with four keys and easy instructions Bad - If not adjusted, the latch is EXTREMELY difficult to open - The powder coating on the latch peels off easily. conveniently unlocked in the vehicle. If it is too tight, you will never open it with your hands. In general a good product. I never liked the fact that anyone can just open the hood, it's a quick fix. If you're worried about small

The Rampage hood latch is a must have for Jeep Wrangler owners. I can't imagine anyone just letting the hood open without their consent. However, be careful when installing it. First, make sure that both latches are working properly. Make sure you can lock and unlock easily. If not, send them back if you can't fix the problem. One of my deadbolts broke and I had to take it apart, straighten the fixed part of the lock assembly, and then reassemble it. If Rampage had tested the product before…

I installed these on my wife's JK right after she bought it for extra peace of mind. The first year went well. Then one luckily got stuck in the unlocked position and we couldn't block that side anymore. I have emailed Rampage many times asking if there is anything I can do to fix the issue. Never an answer.

Thanks to the locking mechanism, they do not jump out and do not prevent unauthorized intervention. They fit fairly snugly and require some finesse of installation to fit properly. The left side was particularly painful as I had to

Installation was a little difficult. Previous users have commented on the insufficiently isolating bumpers and that is absolutely correct. Luckily I had a piece of thick rubber sheet to enlarge. Another minor flaw was that one latch had the hinge pin barely held by the body due to a casting error. I had to bend the cast body very carefully with a protected vise. You have to take the time to line up each latch so the lid closes evenly - it's trial and error. When latching the hood, it is best to

This Rampage bonnet stay holds my bonnet very securely, if a bit tight. I've never had any issues with the hood wobbling at any speed or any sign that the OEM hood latches may not be holding the hood. I bought this product so I don't have to worry about someone stealing my battery. To be honest, for a $38,000 car like my Rubicon Unlimited, having a locking mechanism for the hood, gas cap (I also bought a barricade to cover the gas cap!) and possibly/eventually the door hinges is absolutely…
