I thought Jeep - JL did a great job on the hood designs. My TJ hood was nothing special. I know the 392 and Rubicons are very cool also.

Do you like yours?

My 23 Wrangler Rubi 2 Dr hood is perfect now with the hood lock and shocks.

A black hood decal would prevent the sun glare, but it's not often I'm getting the glare. I really like the Gladiator Mojave hood.

I do now that I can at least pretend the hood vents are functional even though they’re probably not doing much

Looks good to me. I wish I had some ventilation like that. I had considered tearing out the insulation. I'm still on the fence.

Absolutely…… I love the Rubi hood, one of my favorite things they did in the JL. That and the lights on the fenders. Those 2 things identify the JL Rubicon….looking at aftermarket fenders, but they have to have the lights in them……I’m not a fan of hood scoops on jeeps, even the 392, muscle cars, yes, jeeps not so much… And don’t get me started on the Renegade/Compass grills…..:facepalm:

The Rock Lights under the hood is a good idea. I just might have to do that.

I like the mojave hood better than the rubicon but I still like both of them. The JT had 12 miles on it when I ordered the light bar for the hood scoop. Now it's functional in 2 ways although the ventilation probably isn't much.

Did your jeeps come with factory insulation under the hood?

I have the very same lights in my wheel wells and under the rock sliders, just not under my hood yet. Although, it'll be my next project now. I've been trying to come up with a next project for some time now. It is kinda hard to think of stuff to do when I've done everything else so far.

I have the rock lights connected on my Aux 4 circuit. The lights I put on/under the hood, I'll put them on the same circuit.
