Hood Safety Catch Hook

[mick Kauffman]

My 06 TJ has the hood safety catch hook but the part that it hooks on to is gone. Does anyone know what I need there?

It hooks onto the grill, not sure how it could be gone.

Who stole your grill?

Yes and no. The early 97 grill has the safety hood latch in the grill and it hooks into the hood exactly the opposite of all the later ones. Someone may have swapped in a 97 grill and there is nothing for it to latch to in the hood. I don't recall if the later hood mounted safety hook will even close on that grill though so a pic or two is in order.

So, those 97s are like my YJ.

Later TJs have the hook on the hood. 97 has it similar to YJs, i.e it reversed (hook on the grill)
