Hood latch Mechanism Pics (1 Viewer)

[Fireman]

Can anyone please take some detailed shots of how the hood latch hooks up under the hood? I just got the one that Pighead sent me (THANKS PIGHEAD) and now I need to figure out how to install it. Will be so much better than the FJ40 hooks that are holding it down right now. TIA.

Do you need to know how it's attached to the hood itself, or what? I can snap a few of mine, but if you can be more specific, it'll save a little time. Oh, it's dark, might have to wait till tomorrow...

Come on now guys - don't want to make this like the 80s section do we?



Thanks for making me spit out my coffee on the damn monitor

Anytime boss!

Let me think about that for a minute... No.
I thought that the three other people in the world that read this part of the forum might just get a chuckle out of that, rust being a common issue with these trucks...
Sorry if I broke some unknowable rule or something...

Happy thanksgiving!

No worries Nial - they were taking jabs at me 'cause I deleted their "thx" threads

Sometimes authority sucks

Got it in!!!! Works great. Had a little help from my 3 year old daughter. We twisted both the small screws on the bottom outside of the grill off when we were taking the grill out. Guess I'll drill em out and put some small headed bolts in there. Went a head and painted it black while it was out. Camo with black highlights!!!

What's wrong with the 40 hood hooks?
