Locking Hood Latches

[Roger Garrett]

I wanted to replace the stock hood latches on my 2023 4 door Sahara 4xe with locking latches. I finally settled on these. Not super expensive, super simple to install (16 minutes), and they lock and are tight.

Thanks for sharing Roger.

...know what I find interesting about these: from the looks of your attached picture they seem to operate with a laser cut key just like the door lock on the JL.

...mind you this may be an entire different laser cut configuration and/or a shorter than the JL physical key configuration

...but it would have been nice if these locks could have been made to work with the factory key like the BOLT JL Hood Lock does.

Perhaps that presents a key that is too long, making the lock too thick, licensing issues for this technology notwithstanding.

I prefer the BOLT hood lock. One less key to bend, lose or pick my teeth with….

Bold, one key for everything.
