Reviews for BOLT 7026128 Hood Lock for 07-18 Jeep Wrangler JK

This is great investment for any Jeep enthusiast who requires added security. The instructions were straight-forward and all contained the rivets, and grill pushpins. A MUST HAVE!!!

Won’t keep a thief out, but it will take them a bit longer. Also eliminates hood flutter. Like that it keys to the Jeeps key.

Fits nicely in the grill area. I installed a screen to protect the radiator and the rubber lock cover would not fit. The lock is fine, but without the cover. Keeping it lubed will make it last.

Installed one on both my JKUs in 10 minutes, easy install once you find a rivet gun big enough to handle the included rivets. Harbor freight of course. Best part is they work !

Bought the requisite riveter. From Harbor freight, everything was as described.

Keeps spod intact

Very easy installation, good security.

Exactly as advertised. Key coded 1st attempt and open/locks smoothly. Well built heavy construction. Install took 15 minutes and is solid. Like everyone else, purchased a heavy duty rivet gun from Harbor Freight and it worked flawlessly. Far superior to Tuffy product both in quality and one key feature. Highly recommend.

Easy to install, and setting it up for use with the ignition key was simple. It is barely noticeable on my black 2016 Sahara, it blends right in. The Sahara's factory trim around the grill slots does not interfere with it.

I installed it in part to make it harder to remove the grill (and headlights), and in part to help with hood flutter. While it did improve hood flutter by limiting how far the hood can lift, I did end up ordering solid hood latches also - the hood still moved around more than I liked on very windy days on the interstate.

As noted in another review, the key does not need to be left in the lock while the hood is open. While in the locked position with the key removed the hood can still close normally.

Very easy to install. Youtube videos were more helpful than the instructions. Like others that have left reviews, I did have to buy a rivet gun at Harbor Freight for $19. Rivet gun and lock is still cheaper than a battery.
