I love the tight fit and ability to lock the Rampage hood latches.

yeah with how great they work, I've always been surprised there aren't more people running these.

Then I stumbled over a set of Race Grade fiberglass reinforced nylon rod ends with PTFE balls.. perfect! Crazy strong, light weight, black..



If you're reading this, you probably aren't interested in a set of Rampage locking latches, but mine are now in the For Sale forum...
