1. Installation of this product requires that the vehicle already

be tted with P/N JP-190001-K Drake Off Road Hood Hold

Down System.

2. Grab the small rubber bumper previously installed on the

existing Drake Off Road Hood Hold Downlower bracket and

pull it sideways to remove it. Keep this to install the new

Locking Drake Off Road Hood Hold Down Conversion.

3. Unbolt the existing Drake Off Road lower hood hold down

bracket using a 13mm socket with extensions and ratchet.

(Figure 1)

Tip: On passenger side using a small ¼” ratchet should allow ac-

cess to remove and install nut.

4. Use 4mm allen wrench to remove turn buckle assembly

from Lower bracket on Drake Hood Hold Down. Remove

both sleeves and set aside. (Figure 5)

Note: Notice there is a left and a right bracket. The

bracket should be installed with the lanyard facing for-

wards on the vehicle and the tab for the rubber bumper

should face upwards.

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

to be easier. (Figure 3)

6. Reinstall turn buckle assembly into lower bracket that was previously

removed using 4mm allen wrench.

(Figure 4)

7. Push factory rubber bumper onto tab.

(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.
