    steel cowl hood upgrade

    Hello all, Steven & I decided to install the steel cowl hood we have had for 4 years onto the XJ.

    Any suggestions, tips, to do or avoid.

    Looking forward to seeing ya'll at Bantam.

    Best Wishes

    Fathernsons.com Started with a 94 xj at a shown & shine a few years back. Knowing we had a difficult time against the trailered entries, we added a sign that read, "we use this jeep to promote our father n son time together".
    From that vendors & without solicitation wanted to sponsor our site. Its starting to come together more and more.
    Thanks to all. Meanwhile we will see you on the trails.

    Hey, great to see ya back on the forum. You've been away for awhile.

    Anyway, just a basic paint job and bolt it up. If its a good hood it should bolt right up. Only issue you might find is swapping the hardware over. I know my hood latch is rusted up, and it won't come off without breaking something.

    I think that the brackets for the hood release are riveted on, so you'll hafta drill em out and either rivet or bolt em to the new one. Lube them suckers up good, mine give me problems all the time. Thats the biggest pain that I can forsee
