Thinking about replacing my stock hood on my Overland for a Rubicon hood.
Has anyone replaced theirs and any opinions regarding this.Thanks very much
I can't directly answer your question but I will say this; I have a Rubicon hood on my LE and wanted to remove it so I could more easily install a 30w solar panel on it. I don't know what they used to install the hood hinge bolts but by using the correct size torx tip and a breaker bar I couldn't get any of the 4 bolts loose and boogered up the head on one while trying. Just something to consider. Good luck if you decide to make the change.

Well had my black overland hood replaced
For a rubicon.
The reviews for this has been outstanding.
Total cost for paint installation and sadly hinges was $850. Just could not break the bolts on the hinges.
Well happy with the appearance

Sorry you had to get new hinges too. At least I know I'm not the only one who experienced a problem with them. That hood looks great by the way. I like that nose piece on the hood. Can you tell me where you found it?
