Where can I find a hood latch assembly for 1988?


Recommended Posts

Hey! I’m new here. I found this place while googling around and can’t wait to dig through the archives. Question:
 

My 1988 Comanche was recently stolen. We got it back, thank god, but they took the hood and the emergency brake wire.(?) We found a replacement hood, but it came with ZERO hardware. Is there somewhere I can buy the hood latch assembly and other parts I need to fasten and close the hood? Or is there a better solution? 

 

Also, the truck was passed down from my grandpa, and I’m new to buying parts for it. Is there a rule on wranglers/Cherokee parts being interchangeable?

wow I am so glad your truck was returned safely. as far as latch assembly I would think junkyard xjs would have what your looking for. and for cherokees and wrangler parts, the lucky part about comanches is they are doors forward the exact same as xj cherokees and parts are 99% interchangable especially for the early body xjs.

The hood catch bits can be found in any xj 87-96 for sure and maybe even 97-01 too but I don't know for sure.

87-90 wranglers still had the carbed 4.2 and in 91 they got the 4.0 HO so a surprising small amount of their parts are useful to us.

Is the hood release cable still there and intact, or did the thieves cut the cable?

 

Where do you live?
