    Install hood pins. Instead of the pin they give use use a small lock.

    Just for some basic edumacation, most early CJ's didn't have a hood latch those will work on. They only had the hood hold downs from the fender to the hood. '71 had them, '70 may have, not sure about '69. I know my '68 and earlier CJ's don't have the grill to hood latch..
