What was done to your JK this week?
Finally replaced the stock rubber band hood latches with the rugged ridge ones.
Look so much better and will take pressure off of the tuffy good lock that I installed in the summer to minimize hood flutter. Now there's absolutely none.
Also picked up a cheap 4' D handle shovel from Lowes, actually bought two. A squared one for winter and a rounded for the rest of the year.
Took off my Yakima sparetime bike rack for the winter so I strapped the rounded one onto the spare since I'll be going camping next weekend and it might come in handy.
The stretchy straps were $2 a pair at the dollar store.
Yay? Nay? Will probably end up in the trunk after the camping trip.
Originally thought I could jam the shovel under the front tow hooks and toss a bungee on but it's too short. Might get a long tapered handle shovel and stick it on the front bumper anyway.

I've thought about doing the same. Where did you get the box? Online or from someone else?
