I got these Rampage locking hood latches for the JL, JLU, JLUR 2018 and 2019 today. They were on back order for months and finally became available. Rampage part number 76337. It is made of powder coated metal. Total install was about 15 minutes. Most of the time was spent aligning them for a maximum snug fit. Pictures below. 100% satisfied. $74.99
FYI
1. The box says 2019 and up, but the description on the websites say 2018 and 2019. I have a 2018 and it fits perfectly. The website says it is for a 2 door, but it works on both the 4 and 2 door JLs. The box says it is for a 2 door and 4 door JL. Someone at Rampage needs to hire a proofreader or someone to check these things.
2. Careful with the allen wrench and don't scratch the hood. I didn't scratch anything but it did slip a couple of times so it was close.
3. Don't tighten anything all the way initially. Snug the bolts enough to hold in place, but enough to still angle the latch and catch to get them to align up. Then tighten them all the way.
4. I stored one of the keys with the locking lug nut socket. It comes with 2 keys.
5. I plan to unlock it before bringing in for service so they don't loose one of the keys - they already forgot to put the lug nut lock back in the glove compartment and it was a wild goose chase to get it back from the dealership. It is similar to the existing hood lock where it still holds the hood down tight when the key is in the open position.
6. There was no drilling required. Fit in the existing latch holes.
