I even remember the old WJ he had. If I remember correctly, he had an exhaust issue repair in the desert he had to do. I went with the Bolt lock on mine. I did look at the kind you have. I just didn't like the idea of having another key on my key ring (Bolt uses your Jeep key) plus having to unlock my hood "twice". That phone mount is sweet. I like to find something like that for my Vector bar. Great video as usual!

I had a Mopar Hood Lock installed on my 2011 JK not long after purchasing it and experiencing the flutter. It helps with the flutter, and it self codes to the ignition key eliminating the need for more keys. Definitely a must to prevent unwanted visitors under the hood. Should be a factory install in my mind.

My first wrangler experience was a jku willys rental, had a blast out in Vegas in some recreational areas and near "area 51". However I found out about hood flutter on that trip, without any prior knowledge of it, and it scared the hell out of me at first 🤣. Really glad they ditched that design for the jl(u), 21k miles on our JLURD and no hint of hood flutter. The locking feature is quite nice though. I was debating a Bolt hood lock setup but not really a fan of the air obstruction it creates, even though it isn't that bad.

I was able, with GREAT difficulty, to install the left side of the hood. The right side is unbelievably cramped and I’m barely able to touch the mounting nut of the lower part of the hood latch. Also on my Jeep the former owner installed wheel well dams blocking access from underneath. HELP!!!! What do I do??!?
