Thanks for the Part Numbers, they might ask you to pull the url to the external store though as per forum policy, just FYI

If it's just a Mopar link that sells Mopar parts, I doubt there will be an issue with it.
 
$60 and a bit of work makes this an attractive upgrade. The JL latches seem nice from an operation standpoint. I can only imagine that they do a good job on the highway since they have the metal hoop?
 
Yes .. I did it

I swapped 2017 jk hood latches with new jl ones. It didn't need to be so much modified , just cut off the nipples from the bottom parts and put it.

Did you have to modify the top piece ? Like take off the rubber bottom or cut it in some way? The Video online install shows cutting off part of the bottom of the top latch and glueing back on the rubber.

No.. I didn't do anything with top part. Might be not so tight but hold good..

I would not order these through the site mentioned in this thread they sent me half of what I ordered and did not respond to any emails and they have no phone number listed. I will have to dispute this charge with my bank. One upper and one lower latch is all I received when the invoice clearly states quantity 2.

Sorry to hear that .
 
Ok, this was so easy to do!!! You’ll need a 10mm, a 13mm and of you want to keep the plastic tangs on the latches, a drill. IMG_5248.jpg

Used our air grinder to widen and cut the two bottom holes a tad deeper.IMG_5251.jpg

And There you have it!IMG_5253.jpg

It does open up the gap a little in the front and “widens” the hood just a smidge[emoji23]. But, so worth it!!!
