Rugged Ridge 11210.17 Hood Catch Kit, Textured Black; 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

Nice and sturdy. Look good. Tight fitting (with rubber stopper to prevent the hood rattling against the body). Only issue was the washers that come with it don't fit, had to source so others.

Excelente producto para reemplazar los seguros originales. La instalación si es un poco tardada pero vale la pena. Incluyen todo lo necesario para instalarlos

It's amazing how much better quality these are than the cheaply made and poorly functioning OEM latches that came with my Jeep JK Rubicon Unlimited. Install took me 50 minutes and that's mainly because I was working slowly to make sure I was doing it correctly. They look so much better and the hood flutter on the highway is gone. I read plenty of reviews on here that said you should remove the front grill to access the lower passenger side nut. That is NOT necessary at all! With one hand, simply pass a ratchet with a 13mm socket up from the bottom of the fender up towards your other hand where nut is located (make sure the ratchet handle is facing upwards). Fit the socket over the nut to work it free with the ratchet and then remove it with your fingers. So easy! No extenders or anything else is necessary. For the top, all you need is a 10mm socket/ratchet and a 4mm Allen wrench. For the bottom, all you need is a 13mm socket/ratchet and 2 4mm Allen wrenches. I used a crescent wrench to tighten the nuts on the lower assembly once everything was latched.

Bought this product after one of my latches (stock) snapped off while driving on a windy day. After contemplating purchasing another stock latch for a much cheaper price I went with the aluminum to alleviate hood flutter and liked the heavy duty look of these. Great product, extremely easy to install, completely eliminated hood flutter. Would highly recommend over stock latches.

when I used to drive past a big truck hood would flutter now its so solid no movement at all. pretty easy to install very happy

Feel durable and definitely gets rid of the loose hood and makes the Jeep look more appealing, no rust have had it for a few months now( winter season) and no signs of paint flaking either
