Smile Replacing the Hood Hinges

I have been having trouble with the stock hinges bending and finally today, it snapped clean off, in a straight line with the bolts still attached to the firewall. I plan on installing the replacements myself so that I can source a good, strong set. Would the Kentrol Hood Hinges be a good quality hinge? Is it true that the stock hinges are just poor quality and known to do this? Thoughts and recommendations on other hood hinges are also welcome, as I want to make sure it is something strong. Good enough that I won't have to replace them in -21 or lower ever again. For the time being, I have a ratchet strap across my hood. ;-)

Default Re: Replacing the Hood Hinges

Just to close this out, I have decided to go with the Kentrol, there seems to be enough good said about it. Now I just have to wait on Just Jeeps and the great supply chain. Ordered new door hinges as well but I won't install those until spring.
