HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2024
- Are you JL and JT owners concerned that anyone has access to your engine compartment while your not around. The solution is a hood lock by Lasfit. This “stealth hood lock” will secure your hood and protect those expensive accessories you have under the hood. Once installed, your hood locks and unlocks with your factory key FOB.
In this video, I show the installation process and give you a review of the product. LASFIT link 👇

I setup up the alarm to go off if the hood is open when the alarm is armed. This devise is a good alternative.
How did you do that ?
@@americanpatriot8996 I purchased a Tazer JL Mini Programmer . This allows you to tab into the computer and change many setting, such us locking the lockers in 4hi, changing tire size or gears. One cool feature is the light show. Check it out.
@@antonioaa8097is there a video out there that demonstrates this setup?
I came to the comments to ask if it’s possible to have both. It looked like this plugs into the same spot as the Tazer JL mini. No? I’ll have to re-watch the Tazer install video.
After all these years and jeep doesn’t have this built in already. At least a battery bolt clamp. They’ll raise the price on Jeeps though.
Right! It’s a Jeep thing. Lol
Nice that now they have a manual cable override in case battery is dead but JLs with integrated front camera are a no go with this
I was concerned about heat or punctures happening to the air hoses so I protected them with wire loom which is made to protect wiring. They worked great I had to buy 2 different sizes cause in the main engine bay I kept both hoses in one big wire loom I think 1/2 inch and inside under the dash I used a smaller size for the individual hoses and it looks clean and now double protected. Cause if one of those hoses springs a leak or won’t hold the pressure you won’t be able to open the hood. That sucks but I just got the wrangler 392 and couldn’t use the mopar key lock cause the front camera is in the way so this was the next best thing. I don’t like those cheap latches with keys. But thanks for the video it helped me out.
Glad the video helped you out. I thought about putting the hoses into a wire loom but was in a hurry on installation day. Definitely not a bad idea. Thanks for the comment and enjoy your build!
The version I just bought has an emergency bike style cable for manual release, in case of a dead battery or otherwise, for anyone who finds this comment in the future.
Tank you for this video.
You’re welcome. Cheers!
Incredibly detailed installation and video. You made it look simply easy. And thanks for providing the link to purchase the item. Have you thought about putting a Sunrider soft top on your Jeep to replace the freedom panels, and what do you think about the Sunrider soft top? I have a Jeep and was considering a Sunrider soft top and wanted an independent opinion on it.
Thanks for watching. Hopefully it was informative. I personally take my hard top on and off a few times a month when the weather is nice. The sunrider would complicate that too much for me. If you invest in a “rollnjack” like I did then taking the top off and on is a breeze. Hope that helped. Cheers!
Красавчики, радостно за Вас✊

Thanks for watching.
I installed the Bolt hood lock which pairs with your Fob key. It’s extremely sturdy and my guess at least a third of the cost. Works great
I Lasfit hood lock is about $250. I don’t know how much yours cost but don’t you have to the fob key to open the hood?
@@santacruzoverlander I paid $89 for the bolt lock. Yes it uses the “flip out key” on the key fob vs the remote function. For me Id rather not rely on the electronic mech to get under the hood, just my opinion.
Yes. I totally understand your decision. I’m just thankful that we as Jeep owners have the most aftermarket to choose from. Cheers! Thanks for watching.
It doesn't work if you have front camera. so this one will fit
Very nice. Not familiar with the company, but I may have to give this one a shot. Thank you! I wonder if theres a way to power it other than OBD-2. I already have so much other crap plugged in.
Don’t know if another way to power it. I only have a Tazer and Stealth Hood Lock. Enjoy your build!
Nice it looks great and great job on this video. I have a Sport with no extra. So I have no key fob. However, I bought the key hood lock and honestly they're horrible. I can easily open it with a pliers or needle nose. As long as the thief doesn't know about it I'm okay. So if you're looking for my Wrangler, I live in Germany.... Germany
What color is your wrangler so I can find it. Lol. Glad you enjoyed the video. Thanks for watching.
I probably don't understand something about this. Does the hood come unlocked every time you use the fob to unlock the door?
Hey Doug, yes the hood locks and unlocks with the doors using the FOB. If your doors are unlocked so is the hood. If your doors are locked so is the hood. Cheers!
Would it be cheaper just to get the ones with the locks so you can lock them in instead of having to put up freaking whole alarm?.
Yes it would be cheaper but I don’t want to use a physical key to get under the hood. When you lock/unlock yours doors with the key FOB the hood does the same.
Thanks for watching.
What’s Gonna happen when the jeep battery don’t have power how you gonna open the hood?
The 1st version that I installed uses a 12v plug and an external battery source. The other option is the 2nd version which has a manual pull hood release from inside cab. Hope that helped. Thanks for watching. Cheers!
Can this be hard wired to the aux switches ?
It needs to be connected to the CAN bus so that your key fob locks and unlocks the hood.
Can this be connected to the aux switches ?
I suppose so. Not sure why you would go that direction. Using the key fob to lock and unlock your hood seems to be the best option.
Hi, this is a really helpful video. I did purchase the lock and install it.
However after the install I notice that the airlines still on front of the jeep which you can see.. if the thief cut the air line will do that release the hose pressure and left the lock mechanism open? Keep the great work Thanks
Add a reply..
No, there is not a constant pressure in those two hoses so it wouldn’t matter. I highly doubt anyone would even notice the hoses. If someone really wanted to get under the hood they could use a sawsall. Thanks for watching.
Would this work on a JK?
JL and Gladiators only it this time.
So it is always plugged into the obdii?
Yes, it's always plugged in. However, it is a passthrough plug so if you need to plug anything into the obdii plug you still can.
This answered my question also. So you can have this and a tazer for the pin lock, correct?
Would do this if not for my forward facing camera. :(
Totally understand
I bought this today and while it does what i want, i cant shake the feeling that this is some major over-engineering for what is a simple solution.. 😅
True, I could have bought a master lock.🤣
Dose it come with a manual unlock incase it Doesn't work?
The new version does. Mine as installed uses a 12v unlock.
Thanks for watching.
@santacruzoverlander awesome video I'm getting one for my jt
Definitely recommend. Don’t have to worry about people stealing your battery.
@@santacruzoverlander exactly...I don't want anyone having easy access under my hood to do anything to it or steal my voswitch or anything
Just had my battery stolen out of my 07jk by a tow company. I donated a 07 liberty to cars for kids. Long story short they stole my battery because the battery was dead in the liberty. Instead of jumping it or God forbid getting their own mine was easily accessed
Sorry to hear man. Don’t know why Jeep gives hood access to wranglers and not have a hood cable release like every other vehicle.
@santacruzoverlander it was an immediate lesson and rough welcome to the Jeep Life lol. I will say I'm enjoying the Jeep a lot. It Was worth all the trouble to keep my uncles baby and his memory going!!
How much is it bro?
The cost is $250 on there website. There is a coupon for 20% off currently going on. “HL20”
Here’s the direct link to hood lock.

great video but as today's Robbers get smarter they just need to scan your Keyfob while you are asleep. I recommend you use a faraday bag and put your keyfob in it overnight and or not use your vehicle. I've done this for all my Jeep Grand Cherokees and JL.
Good to know about the keyFOB. It’s sad that I have to even think about thief’s but I will continue to discourage any thief where I can. Cheers!
why not just buy lock hood latches? Cheaper by far and easy to install.
Definitely an option for some people. I was more interested in more of an OEM type product. I would loose the key. lol! Cheers!
@@santacruzoverlander thanks for that reply you’re obviously a good guy
Those hood locks are only for show. You can bypass them easily with a long nose pliers. I learned that by forgetting to give my keys to the dealer. I bend them back into place every time I forget.
@@milwoodhughes670 The Hood Latches I am talking about or the hood latches in the video...sorry I am a little slow?
@@evilgeniusboy1878 I saw that one after commenting. I saw one with only a key. Now I'm ready to still your Avatar after I learned something.
for the price Jeep is selling this car, they must have their own security solution to avoid theft.
👍🏻 agreed.
what would happen when battery dies? 🤭
Good question. The kit comes with a 12v jumper cable that you would have to plug into a 12v source. A portable battery like a “goal zero” or your buddys 12v cigarette lighter. Appreciate the question!
@@santacruzoverlander thanks for the reply but what i meant was if the car was locked and battery dead. will the remote work? since hood internal mechanism works on car battery that is dead.
If your car is dead, the key fob doesn’t work. You would have to use the key on your key FOB to open your car and then use the provided 12v plug adapter from Lasfit to your friends vehicle or portable battery. Hoped that helps.
I hope they steal my jeep. Have the insurance pay it off. Over priced junk.! Gas hog. Rust bucket. Drives like crap.
LOL. Jeeps aren't for everyone for the reasons you mentioned. However, for me "smile per mile"
@@santacruzoverlander just empty every pocket.!! Junk.!!
