5. Install the new locking hood pin bracket on Jeep with the rubber pad
between the bracket and body using M8 at head bolt with 5mm al-
len wrench and 13mm socket (combination of extensions may also be
needed). As mentioned previous, installer may nd reusing factory nut

(Figure 5)
8. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for installation on the opposite side.
9.Make sure turn buckles are ipped out of the way and resting on the
fenders.
ALWAYS MAKE SURE TURNBUCKLES ARE
FLIPPED OUTWARD BEFORE
CLOSING HOOD TO AVOID DAMAGE!
10.Close hood.
11.Insert one of the supplied round keys into locking hood pin cylinder and
turn it clockwise. You should here a click indicating the lock is open.
Remove the key and you should see the lock button sticking out of the
cylinder about 1/3 inch.
12.Line up turnbuckle and insert locking hood pin completely so that it bot-
toms out against the hood bracket. Direction of the Quick release pin is
up to user preference and it can be installed from the front or the back
with the pin installed in the hood hold down bracket, press the locking
button in to engage the lock. Pull on the pin to make sure it doesn’t
slide out.
Setup
1. Since the vehicle already had the Drake Off Road Hood Hold Down
System, it shouldn’t require any additional adjustment. The step below
show how to adjust the system if any additional set up is required for
smooth operation. Make sure jam nuts are threaded all the way against
the heim joints.
2. Gently apply downward pressure to hood while turning billet aluminum
turn buckle to adjust hood down until it contacts the rubber pad. Adjust-
ment is set to personal preference but we’ve found that spinning the
turnbuckle until the quick release pin is almost difcult to pull out works
best. With it adjusted to this tension we are able to gently push down
on the hood to relieve the pressure on the pin and pull it out at the same
time.
3. Once adjusted to your preferred tension use two 13mm wrenches to
tighten jam nuts on turnbuckle against the billet aluminum center piece.
Once adjusted properly you should not need to use turnbuckle to open
and close your hood.
