No way, I could never have guessed in a million years that the purpose of hood pins were to keep the hood from falling off.
Fr like he might as well say did you know that a car door is there so you can get into your car
I always thought they were just there because they look cool honestly. Because a hood latch seems pretty secure
@@mhxxd4over 135ish they're not to secure.
he asked him not yu really take the time to comment doe
Ngl I kinda figured they were just lighter
This dude has never turned a wrench
Lol I barely have myself and I can see that from a mile away
Or drove a fast car 😂 he just has the pins because he thinks it looks cool. He like the guy that buys all the custom auto accessories at Walmart and puts them on
You ain't lying he points out hood latches and talks about pins 😂
I think that’s pretty evident by the fact he drives a prebuilt Jeep
@@jasonhollis5916 he just got a janky ass hood, hoods don’t just fly off like he said I’ve gone 120 in backroads throughout MA and sometimes topping out at 135 on straights with the boys but even then he’s acting like the air getting under the hood is a bad thing, there are vents for that reason on some hoods to help vent the air that went through the radiator and intercooler through the engine bay, up through and over the car. He doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Jeep Wranglers have hood pins because they don’t have hood latches beneath the hood
Jeep wranglers do have hood latches they just don’t lock which is why they have external hood locks. They did it for a reason.
^What this dude said.
@@Eco.boost2.7yup I’ve had two wranglers for 12 years what this guy said. They do lock down, but even after they lock they’re still very loose. When you latch them they aren’t going nowhere and it pins the edges of the hood down on the fenders tight af.
They do have a hood latch they hood pin/hod catch latch cause that’s what they had on them when the army had them. It’s a cosmetic thing and functional to keep them closed for when they roll over.
Some of the newer ones have both.
Bro is like “you know what these lug nuts are for”
Bro lmfao 😂😂
To KeEp ThE rOtOrS wArM?
😂😂😂😂
Bro, GUESS WHAT this steering wheel is for!
You know what gasoline is for?
Wait hood pins stop the hood from flying off? No way, this guys a genius
What he meant was the faster you go you'll need hood pins not just a hood latch normal hood latches don't stand the force of the wind 😂 which is common knowledge but most people don't know that nowadays
@@Eklipz-sg8exI'm confused by this, I've never had hood pins installed on my BMWs and I regularly see speeds of over 140
@@anthonyk it depends if your car was designed with speed in mind fast cars have stronger hood latches then a family car does 😁 so if you take a car that's not meant to hit those speeds let's say a Honda Civic and you make it go faster the stock hood latch isn't gonna withstand the air pressure on the hood
@anthonyk I think hood pins are mostly used on carbon hoods because the factory style hook on carbon hoods is weak in my opinion. They also flex causing air to get under it and rip off so the pins keep the front corners locked down
That guy listening to you thinking “this dudes dumb as a rock”
Okay buddy
Do you know what hood pins are for? Pretty self explanatory don’t you think😅
@@davedavidson4287he’s talking about how he’s exposing things. He’s explaining thinks like someone who pays a shop too build there car not themselves. This isn’t car talk
@@jaydenwiggins1995well he isnt. Hes talking like someone who learned from his small mistake.
@@EBG... no that dude has NEVER built a car himself bro😂 just stop.
@@jaydenwiggins1995 that dude is the guy who you're claiming he went to.🤦♂️ he literally builds cars for s living. That's you, a sour person with zero knowledge about another person, making completely baseless assumptions out of literally nothing. Just stop.
No one in the history of vehicles has ever wondered what hood pins are for
😂😂😂😂😂
That poor guy looks like he’s in anguish listening to this guy’s life story.
500$ carbon fiber hood? It didn't fly off because lack of pins. The latch broke off because of shitty material.
lol exactly i never seen one less then 900
You know FOR A FACT bro ignored ALL the disclaimers about how "hood pins are highly recommended and WE DO NOT recommend using the oem hood latches" bro skipped right over that part lmao only thing on bros mind was gapping that V6 mustang that's been talkin shit 😅😅😅
The latch on a composite hood has very minimal surface area of bonding. Hood pins add surface area spread out evenly to aid in tension relief to the latch.
Imagine thinking the size of the engine makes your light azz carbon fiber hood fly off in high winds....😅
thats not what he said lmao. more power = more wind resistance
you have no listening skills whatsoever lmao, bet you did wonders in school.
@Esizl he said the bigger the engine..... he was on a bridge in the wind with a carbon fiber hood, that would have ripped off with the pins, and dude you know how wind resistance even works?
@houston4380 no it wouldn't have ripped off at all😂 hood pins HOLD THE HOOD TO THE CAR lmao def wouldn't have flown off do you have any idea how wind resistance works? You counteract that force and it doesn't fly off😂😂😂
@@houston4380dumbest shi I ever heard💀💀💀
It’s crazy how from such a short video, without even saying anything wrong, I can automatically tell this guy has never wrenched in his life. Almost wanna call bs on the story too but it honestly happens all the time, but it’s never a bad hood latch, it’s always the fault of a PERSON.
Seen this 5.0 hatchback Mustang pull out of the carwash parking lot fast and the hood flipped back and over the car. That was years ago before the internet days.
What year did this happen and what year/model do you think the stang was ?? Just curious lol
@@ryguy-qh2qkif it was before the internet days, it’s gotta be somewhere in the mid/ late 20th century
You mean a fox body.
@@kingghastlyvii1895yeah he’s most likely talking about a fox I was confused at first when he said hatchback
@@cb_fit.2824 same, even had to Google it just in case I didn't know about an actual hatch 5.0, would be sick though
I assure you that hood was either installed incorrectly, or you forgot to latch it
Do you know what hood pins are for? I don't know. Maybe keeping the hood from flying off? What else would they be used for?
“Do YeW No WuT HuUd PiNs R AcTuAlLy FoUr?!” How anybody who’s even changed a flat tire feels about this lol.
If your hood is double locked in, it isn’t coming off buddy 😂 it either didn’t lock it in when you shut it last or it malfunctioned. Camry with bent in bonnet, double air gaps on both sides, comfortably pulling 120-130 kmph against wind, it wobbles but won’t pop if she’s locked in
They had to cut it after he asked that first question cause dude probably said “yes” then they came up to him like “hey can you say no, were filming a short”😂😂
"I have a honda civic....its really fast" lmao
Honda civics with K swaps are no joke, shows how little you know.
@@burtrandolph1745 🤣😭
@@matschrepfmy buddy’s 92civic hatch with a turbo b18 is by far the fastest car in my friend group and we all have big turbo s4s, 10r80 mustangs, pure turbo b58s.. that Honda in a 60 roll takes everyone to lunch. After he gets that crv awd swap done it’s gg
"do you know what Hood pins are for?" *Goes on sidequest describing his high school car and how badass he remembers it being* I feel you dude. It orob wasnt as great as you remember though
He peaked back then
When your windshield wipers start moving by themselves you know your going fast
definitely not reason to have that a wranger then huh
The Wrangler doesn't have a hood latch under the hood bc/so they put the latches on the side
@@kaleb5426 Yeah they do have hood latches. I got the 2018 wrangler rubicon and its pretty much stock, i have to unlatch the rubber hood latches then when those are unlatched i have to then unlatch the hood latch similar to most other cars hood latches.
That happened to me on Houston’s 610
Except I was driving a Camry I just got an oil change on and the tech forgot to close the hood right.
Saw the hood flying the saw way homie described it. Hand wobble and all
Yeah I learned this the hard way too, hood flew up at 120mph and smashed my windshield and dented in my roof
Exactly like he said to keep the hood attached to the vehicle 😂
When you don’t know how to mount a hood to a car.
“Do you know what hood pins are for?”
“Uhmm. Let me guess, pinning the hood.”😂
I love that mountain in the background
Racing on the gandy allll night lol😅
So many good memories at gandy
"Used my school loans to buy motors..."
Dude is doing it right

@@CivicFiberglassDoor Yeah. Got a degree that he couldn't get a job with. Barely getting by making videos now and living in mom's basement.
And he wants student loan forgiveness......
Hold on let me write this down.
😂😂😂
The guy on the left is active listening like hell trying to get out of the sun!! 😂
are they at a Bass Pro Shop?
No shit Captain obvious
I use hood pins on my truck because the latch is rusted out... Not because it has a big motor.
Wait I can’t be the only one that is in awe of the background setting, I mean damn that’s beautiful
Good thing it doesn’t have grille pins. Maybe that ugly ass thing will fly off too
Gold
So actually the point is to shed weight, a latch should for all intents and purposes be just as secure. The idea is to replace eight to nine pounds with one and a half (your eliminating the springs, hinges and the latch). That said unless something is wrong or you screwed up, they should both keep the hood in place. Also if your really invested the best weight savings come from simply removing the hood and all associated hardware.
Best comment so far
Dude. An entire hood latch assembly on my 03 Yukon including cable and springs and even the striker on the hood itself weighs maybe 3 pounds tops... You're better off taking some x-lax and taking a 3 pound shit in the morning before you go race than to delete your hood latch to try and shave weight... Hood latches on jeep wranglers are because they don't have latch assembly built in. Hood pins are quite literally a fail safe mechanism that are a last line of defence in high speed conditions to keep the hood from obstructing your view.
@@highnoon5189 your not very smart bud, by the time you remove the latching mechanism from the front of the hood, and the springs and hinges from the rear, we are getting into the neighborhood of reasonable weight reduction. Ounces make pounds and pounds make slow. I get where you think this conversation is based but that said you know nothing. That said cheers bud I wish you the best.
@@highnoon5189 also your yukon was never in danger of going fast.
@highnoon5189 also I've had a few and just so you know flag code is clear, it's not an outfit for you to wear, I've always felt the temptation myself. But the rules are clear it's not an accessory for you to wear, it's our nations flag and it's meant to be respected look up flag code it's not law it's basically polite recommendations but that said it's pretty clear. Respect the stars and stripes.
Bro said big ass motors talking about a damn crv motor 😂
Never knew that until I was 9 sitting in a 1966 Ford GT at the local car show in Kingman, that was 2002. I still remember the same guy who gave me and my little brother a ride down the block in his 2006 Ford GT two years later, but at the air show; fell in love with P51 Mustang that day, the same guy owns a P51.
No, that’s not why hood pins exist.
So let say you’ve built a car to race.
You’re going around the track and suddenly there is a fire.
You jump out of the car and attempt to get your hood open.
Are you going to shove your hand up into the gap to grab the scolding hot hood latch or would you rather pull two pins?
Although you should never just rip open the hood in the event of an engine fire but the pins are much less likely to fail to open.
But to say “you know why hood pins exist?”
Then tell some bogus personal story that provided no facts as to why hood pins exist is just nonsense.
Dudes a 🤡
Funny you call this guy a clown but have no idea what you’re talking about yourself lmao. Here buddy, Originally, they were a safety and convenience device for race cars to prevent hoods from opening accidentally and to enable the pit crew to open it from the outside without involving the driver
Stick to att tech support, obviously cars aren’t your thing
nah its actually so they dont fly open
@@Camshaft4 wrong
Oooo watch out guys, hes got the "angry eyes" on his little jeep 😂
Thank you for listening to another episode of fast and the furious bedtime story’s.
Sunshine skyway? Lmao Them Gandy/Courtney Campbell nights!!
Dude “didnt know what hoodpins we’re actually for”
He said it went "Hwughmp" but it obviosly went "Schwahhh"
That why I love the c5 corvette hood design
best part ripping over the skyway.......then hood went like a parachute into tampa bay. wow i can only imagine how that accident would have been
He said he used his school loans for his motors 😂
Taking on debt to buy nonsense for your car. I can't believe he said that out loud for other people to hear.
"How old are you?"
"Gravitas"
I had a 94 Civic Del Sol and had the same thing happen with the stock hood. Cars that weren't designed to be driven fast need a few modifications.
Man if only I knew hood pins were built to keep my hood, on my car! Give this man a raise, excellent mind.
I need a set of those nitto mud grapplers 😂
Next, Thing this guys gunna tell us is that engines make car go OR even that doors help you get IN the car!!!
And it goes kouuuuuuuu 😂😂😭😭😭😭
“Big ass motors”. 😂😂😂😂 pushing 207.3hp. Sounds like he knows what’s up
Hood pins are also for quickly accessing the engine bay without having to use the hood release. Useful if there is fire and the hood is hot.
That's so cool! I've always wondered what that glass in front of the driver is for. Can you do a video on that!
That was sooo funny, he said Honda and I lost it!!!! Get a hair cut!
I noticed that actually. Mad hood flex ever since I tuned it.
Tbh i thought hood pins were there to keep the spare tire on. Im glad youve cleared that up!!
😂Nitrous 92 civic "really fast"😂😂
Hood pins in a racing application are there so in event of a fire, you do not need access to the cabin of the vehicle to release the hood for fire suppression. Also, high temps can melt a hood release cable. That’s it. Being light is a bonus. That’s why a 200hp rally car has to have them but a 900hp production super car made from composite materials does not. And remember kids, Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements is also an acronym for Rice!
Bro never made hand waves out the car window 😂
He says “actually for” like it’s going to be something other than what you’d expect and then describes exactly what you’d expect
“Using my parents money to pay shops to build Hondas while I was in college” lol
Fun fact: this will ALMOST happen in a stock V6 Tacoma, right around 110. I was driving through western Texas at the time and I scared the shit out of me, thank God for the overbuilt hood latch in those trucks
The hood usually breaks the windshield bends around and puts a huge dent in the roof and you can't see shit. Then you instinctively bump the crap out your head on the side glass trying to see around it.
Hood pins were a double feature tool
Keeps the hood from flying off
And when you put locks on it it keeps your engine from being fucked with.
That was indeed such a funny story I can't believe it
The same thing happened to me, except it wasn't a carbon fiber hood, and it slammed into my windshield but stayed attached.
🤦♂️ "We're car guys" 😂😂😂
Not even under fast vehicles 😂😅😂I had this happen in my slow Lancer OZ Rally going 40mph. The wind gust kicked under and the right place and exactly at the right time. Hood went flying right off the Coronado Bridge going a turtle slow 40mph… the dude I bought the hood from said I should add pins just to be safe and I said that’s what’s latches at for. Boy did I learn a lesson that day. When you have a light hood, it requires pins especially carbon fiber. Big motors has nothing to do with a light hood not properly being secured.
Older Jeeps,aka Real Jeeps, didn’t have a center latch. They had spring loaded latches on either side. What they have now is mostly a reminiscent reminder, just there to try to bring validity to that huge behemoth that evolved from Jeeps.
Hoods pins where used in Nascar and other forms of racing so that could lift the hood clean off the car to work on the motor. My 1970 plymouth roadrunner had them but it was mainly used to mimic Nascar which back then still used manufactured cars such as the supperbird.
Hood pins do a lot. Race cars don't have hinges or latches to save weight, so hood pins are the only option. With souped up production cars on a circuit, it allows you to open the hood in an emergency without needing to go inside the car. Some aftermarket hoods do not have a latching bar so hood pins are the easiest way to get a functional hood.
Ayyy the skyway I love that bridge
I have a CRV and I never knew that. It has a big ass motor under the hood. I should go put hood pins on it now.😮
Grumpers are peak angry grills
So that’s why the hood on my 4 cylinder Sonoma flew up😂
I always thought hood pins were for when the factory latch seized on your Jeep and I had to drill holes into my XJ Hood so I had something holding it down.
"When you put big ass motors in vehicles and go fast" shiiiit my wrangler's stock hood wobbles amd flexes going 50. Probably why they installed hood clips and a latch from the factory lmao.
Intelligent conversation 👌
happened in my dads el camino he had to reverse home on the highway 😂😂😂
Ahhh. The Skyway. Very fond memories racing over that bridge to the island every weekend
That just made my head damn young kids.
"i was broke" also "yah i was swapping out my hood for a carbon fiber hood and it had turbo and nitrous"
My friends boyfriend had this happen to his Honda prelude after he installed shitty hood pins and it destroyed the hood and the skylight/ windshield and instead of even attempting to fix it himself he let the insurance total it and now I see monthly memorials for his car on snap (it’s 2 years later as of now)
Thats a dope mall crawler
I feel your pain man 😂well there goes my $500 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It’s not the air going under the hood, it’s the low pressure over the top of it. Same concept as lift for an airfoil like a wing on a plane. They’re pulled up into the air from the top of the wing, not pushed up from the bottom of it
I decided to go down the skyway bridge to see how fast I could go and lost part of my hood!
“Swapped crv motor Really fast” as my crv struggles to hit 60 in less than 12 seconds
Fun fact: the engine moves the car, I know this because I went out and tried to move my car one day and it wouldn’t move, so thats a little story on why they install engines in cars.
actually the transmission does. engine produces torque , the transmission takes that torque and applies it to rest of drivetrain. take transmission out of car, go red line it. it aint moving
I have a 69 camaro and my hood flew up on the top of the skyway.... i now have hood pins 🤣
You’re telling this to a guy with a wrangler with the aerodynamics of a brick😂
Flying off is best case scenario wait until it slaps the front windshield
I always thought it was to take the hood completely off when u work on your car
Big motors make your hood fly off lol 😆 😂 thats what i got out of his thought process. 🤣 it
No this just happens to
cheap shit boxes 😂😂
