Why Upgrade to the Smittybilt Locking Hood Catch Kit?

Factory rubber hood catches are prone to loosening, cracking, and degrading over time — especially under the repeated stress of off-road use. Smittybilt's Locking Hood Catch Kit replaces these OEM components with robust, lockable metal latches that add both security and a more aggressive, trail-ready appearance. Backed by over 65 years of off-road accessory development, Smittybilt products are developed and tested by real trail enthusiasts in real-world conditions, ensuring every kit performs where it counts.
