Re: Hood Lock

Yes, I want to make it difficult to open the hood from a theft standpoint.

Re: Hood Lock

If you look in the FAQ's there's a write up on a good way to do it.

Re: Hood Lock

Here is what I use. It has a built in kill and it locks from the inside so you dont have to worry about the lock freezing in the winter.

Re: Hood Lock

NAPA had a couple a few years ago that I bought, but procrastination has made sure I didn't install one of them. It uses an in-the-cab release via a cable system, just to prevent anyone from opening the hood w/o permission.

But.....you gotta lock the doors!!!
