I think there is a "Mandela Effect" of some people claiming they have a steel Rubicon hood. Been brought up a few times before and nobody will post a video of a magnet sticking to one to prove it out.

Rubicons have a steel hood.

You could probably save some money with a junk yard or https://www.car-part.com/
Rubicon is aluminum. Look up the Redline Tuning hood struts - only Mojave, 392 and export hoods aren't aluminum.
We have a Rubicon - aluminum hood.

You can tell just by lifting the hood, or look at the differences in the aftermarket struts.

If using a magnet, be sure to apply the magnet on the flat open area.
