New Hood Latches

[Ex-Nuke]

I found these new latches from this brand called Maiker. Could be wrong, but I haven't ever seen anything like these particular style. Kinda reminiscent of the old CJ style, but more modern.

But Maiker seems a little proud of their stuff.

$129 a bit much to pay for a pair of hood latches, even with the Just Empty Every Pocket principle.

good latches can get pricey. Been looking for some for a friend that has a JKU and to get a good pair is almost $100. She currently has a less expensive pair made overseas and they are horrible. Countless times she has been driving and one of the latches pops open.

I see logos and it's an immediate no.

Maybe the logos will come off with something like acetone?

I like the hood latches, but not for me because I needed locking hood latches.

They should've made the center ridge a functional weaver/picatinny rail, instead of making the lower outer edges look like one. Mount some lasers and bayonets on that bish! ?

And as if the logo wasn't bad enough, they put some random MIL STD number on the latch to try and make it look "tacticool." Interestingly, that MIL STD has nothing to do with Jeeps, hood latches, or vehicles in general. As listed in the U.S. Archives, MIL-STD-105E is for "Sampling procedures and tables for inspection by attributes."

Same. That is the only reason I would replace the stock ones.
