Construction & Design:

These hood catches are crafted from high-quality aluminum, chosen for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to rust and corrosion. The textured black powder coat finish not only enhances durability but also provides a rugged, matte appearance that matches Jeep’s off-road heritage. The design is engineered to be proportional to the vehicle’s hood and body lines, ensuring a seamless integration that looks factory-installed.

The adjustable mechanism allows for fine-tuning the tension and fit, accommodating slight variations in hood alignment and wear over time. This thoughtful engineering helps maintain a tight seal and prevents the hood from fluttering or vibrating at higher speeds or on rough terrain.

Clear instructions are included to guide users through the process, which typically takes less than an hour. This product fits a broad range of Jeep Wrangler models from 2007 through 2018, including the Rubicon, Sahara, Sport, Sport S, Unlimited, and special anniversary editions. It also fits Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2005 to 2010.
