I have the Tuffy hood lock. I don't know if my installation is unique but i had to "clearance" part of the safety latch. It works fine now, though.

Got one on my jk. “Bolt” is the brand if I remember correctly and it uses the ignition key as the key to unlock/lock it. When you get the lock you put your key in to set the tumblers and you’re good to go. Easy install and one less key to hang on the chain.
I use a hole drilled in the latch with a padlock inserted. There's a vid on youtube, just search for how to lock your Jeep's hood. Apparently, it is disabled for playing on other sites. Anyway, it took about 15 mins to install and works fine.

Yeah just looked myself and they don’t make them for the tj. I’ll check mine out later and see if they are interchangeable. I do know my jk key and my tj key will both fit in the others keyhole.
Any pics of where you guys drill for the padlocks and what they look like installed?I use a hole drilled in the latch with a padlock inserted.

TJ Jim did you check to see if the Bolt would work on a TJ?
Not yet. Should get time to do that tomorrow
