Jeep Hood Latch works best with Hood Pins

Very difficult to try and set up and is a great way to scratch the paint on the grille. I'll try to find a simpler hood locking device

Pros
  • Heavy Duty Construction
Cons
  • Volume

Works well in exterior accessories

I bought this item for my 2006 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. I have previously purchased this for my 2001 Jeep Wrangler Sahara and it fit and worked perfectly. Not exactly sure what has changed but the same item has had to be adjusted a few times and still doesn't fit as snugly as the first one I bought but still does the same job.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Definitely bad product

This is not a permanent lock

Until I got the lock I didn't realize that it had to be installed and removed every time you needed to get under the hood. Reaching through the bars to access a locked block can also be a pain, especially if you have fatter hands or larger hands like mine. I still use it, but now I'm afraid of removing and reinstalling the lock every time I go under the hood.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Weight

The picture may not be worth anything

I ordered the lock that I saw in the picture and received a completely different look. What is shown is black, I have some chrome. The shape is also different. I installed it and it looks like it will protect against most thieves, but I think I can easily beat it. As soon as I find something better I will replace it. I hope someone does something better to latch the Jeep TJ hood.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Fits

Not impressed - exterior accessories

Tried on my 1999 Wrangler SE. Seems to be made very cheaply. The bracket, which is bolted to the frame to keep the Jeep arm from jerking, is held in place by two thin washers. Getting them tight so they don't pop out was a challenge. Installing it on your jeep was easy but certainly not good. It was hard to grab the latch and lock the jeep. I put it on relatively easily, but it was difficult to take it off. After finally taking it off, I decided not to wear it anymore. I'm afraid that in the…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some small things
