Aluminum Hood Locks Jeep Wrangler JL / Gladiator JT
These aluminum hood locks for the Jeep Wrangler JL, Wrangler JL 4xe and Gladiator JT swap out the stock hardware for a sturdier, more distinctive look up front. Every mounting element you need is included in the box, so installation is a straightforward bolt-on job. The aluminum build keeps weight down compared to heavier steel hardware, and the paint finish carries a 12-month warranty from the manufacturer.
Aluminum Hood Locks for Jeep Wrangler JL / Gladiator JT
The stock hood catches on a Wrangler JL or Gladiator JT tend to work loose over time, and they rarely match the look of a front end you've already upgraded with a new bumper or armor. Nomadtech's aluminum hood locks are a straightforward fix — a sturdier catch, a distinct machined-look detail on the hood, and a mount that doesn't add unnecessary weight up front.
This is the fully aluminum version of the part — a lighter alternative to heavier steel hood locks of the same type, without giving up a solid mount.

This is built for Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT owners who are already upgrading the front end — a new bumper, armor, or just a hood that should look more purposeful than stock — and want a hood lock that visually matches the rest of the aluminum and metal hardware on the truck. It also works well as a durable replacement when the factory catches have loosened or worn out.
Installation notes
The kit includes every mounting component you need, so there's nothing extra to source beyond what's in the box. The manufacturer notes that the paint-finish warranty does not cover mechanical damage — worth keeping in mind during everyday use and washing.
Why it's worth it
- Aluminum instead of heavier steel — less mass on the hood, same function.
- A complete mounting kit — fewer parts to source separately.
- One reference number covers the Wrangler JL, JL 4xe, and Gladiator JT.
If you want a lighter, more distinctive hood closure than the factory setup, the NOM-AC207 kit is a solid aluminum alternative built for your model.
