Description
Lock Down Your JK's Engine Bay
Jeep Wrangler JK owners know the vulnerability — the factory hood offers zero security. Anyone can open your hood in seconds and walk away with your battery, air intake, or expensive aftermarket parts. The iFJF Hood Lock is a stainless steel, key-locked hood latch system that stops thieves in their tracks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will this fit a 2018 JK?
A: Yes. The 2018 JK (not the JL body) uses the same hood latch mounting pattern as 2007-2017.
Q: Compatible with hood struts?
A: Yes. The locking latches mount independently and do not interfere with hood struts.
Q: What if I lose my keys?
A: Contact iFJF support. We maintain key records and can provide replacement keys.
Q: Will these rust?
A: 304 stainless steel is highly corrosion-resistant. Tested through New England winters and beach environments.
Q: Pair or single?
A: This listing includes 2 locking latches (driver + passenger) and 2 keys.
Q: Aftermarket grille compatible?
A: Yes. Latches mount to the hood itself, not the grille.
