I am wanting to keep the thieves even further away and looking for what works for locking my 2020 Gladiator Rubicon hood. Whether it be locking latches or a centralized hood lock... what ever is good looking, functional, and available. Thanks for your imput

I went with locking latches, they're ok and about half the cost of the internal latch.

Give ‘em a good tug and they’ll pop open. At least the ones I looked at.

Mine are all metal, it would take a little more than a 'tug' to pop them open 😀

Good.
The only ones I saw that I liked their looks had plastic bits that would be easily broken by a determined thief. So I decided to rely on the alarm system as a deterrent.

My dealer suggested using a small cable lock for luggage and just lock the latch and strap.

What ones did you do? Any other brand of hood latch as I'm leaning towards doing the Trail Cam and can't do the Bolt in the grill type.
