The Hood Latch Jimmi Jammer is a steel cover to protect the hood latch from thieves who reach through the grill to pry at the latch to open the hood. They can do this without ever needing to pull the release cable inside the truck. They gain access to the engine compartment where they steal batteries, headlights, engine components or just disable any alarm you might have. If you have a plastic grill, they just punch through it to get at the latch. Put this Hood Latch Jimmi Jammer on to prevent access to the release from the front of the truck. Fits Ford F150; F250/350/450; Ranger , Excursion, Expedition, Explorer and E-Series vans.
