JL Wrangler and JT Gladiator Anti Theft Hood Lock.

Are you JL and JT owners concerned that anyone has access to your engine compartment while your not around. The solution is a hood lock by Lasfit. This “stealth hood lock” will secure your hood and protect those expensive accessories you have under the hood. Once installed, your hood locks and unlocks with your factory key FOB.
In this video, I show the installation process and give you a review of the product. LASFIT link 👇

I setup up the alarm to go off if the hood is open when the alarm is armed. This devise is a good alternative.

@@americanpatriot8996 I purchased a Tazer JL Mini Programmer . This allows you to tab into the computer and change many setting, such us locking the lockers in 4hi, changing tire size or gears. One cool feature is the light show. Check it out.

I came to the comments to ask if it’s possible to have both. It looked like this plugs into the same spot as the Tazer JL mini. No? I’ll have to re-watch the Tazer install video.

Nice that now they have a manual cable override in case battery is dead but JLs with integrated front camera are a no go with this

I was concerned about heat or punctures happening to the air hoses so I protected them with wire loom which is made to protect wiring. They worked great I had to buy 2 different sizes cause in the main engine bay I kept both hoses in one big wire loom I think 1/2 inch and inside under the dash I used a smaller size for the individual hoses and it looks clean and now double protected. Cause if one of those hoses springs a leak or won’t hold the pressure you won’t be able to open the hood. That sucks but I just got the wrangler 392 and couldn’t use the mopar key lock cause the front camera is in the way so this was the next best thing. I don’t like those cheap latches with keys. But thanks for the video it helped me out.

Glad the video helped you out. I thought about putting the hoses into a wire loom but was in a hurry on installation day. Definitely not a bad idea. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your build!

@@santacruzoverlander I paid $89 for the bolt lock. Yes it uses the “flip out key” on the key fob vs the remote function. For me Id rather not rely on the electronic mech to get under the hood, just my opinion.

Nice it looks great and great job on this video. I have a Sport with no extra. So I have no key fob. However, I bought the key hood lock and honestly they're horrible. I can easily open it with a pliers or needle nose. As long as the thief doesn't know about it I'm okay. So if you're looking for my Wrangler, I live in Germany.... Germany

Incredibly detailed installation and video. You made it look simply easy. And thanks for providing the link to purchase the item. Have you thought about putting a Sunrider soft top on your Jeep to replace the freedom panels, and what do you think about the Sunrider soft top? I have a Jeep and was considering a Sunrider soft top and wanted an independent opinion on it.

@santacruzoverlander Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching. Hopefully it was informative. I personally take my hard top on and off a few times a month when the weather is nice. The sunrider would complicate that too much for me. If you invest in a “rollnjack” like I did then taking the top off and on is a breeze. Hope that helped. Cheers!

I probably don't understand something about this. Does the hood come unlocked every time you use the fob to unlock the door?

@santacruzoverlander 8 ай бұрын

Hey Doug, yes the hood locks and unlocks with the doors using the FOB. If your doors are unlocked so is the hood. If your doors are locked so is the hood. Cheers!

Would it be cheaper just to get the ones with the locks so you can lock them in instead of having to put up freaking whole alarm?.

Yes it would be cheaper but I don’t want to use a physical key to get under the hood. When you lock/unlock yours doors with the key FOB the hood does the same. Thanks for watching.

@santacruzoverlander Жыл бұрын

If your car is dead, the key fob doesn’t work. You would have to use the key on your key FOB to open your car and then use the provided 12v plug adapter from Lasfit to your friends vehicle or portable battery. Hoped that helps.
