So after having the hood fly up on me going 60... (this is my first jeep) I now understand the importance about making sure the hood is latched before taking off. Anyway I picked up a after market hood and it all fits well except where the hinges go once I mount them on to the hood I can't get them back on to the main body so I'm curious if I might've bent these hinges and just need new ones for the new hood to fit properly thanks to all for the help this forum has been very helpful 97 jeep wrangler

Looks good to me, just give it a blast of paint and bolt her up!

Those hinges are effed. And im willing to bet that where they mount to the hood is all jacked up too.
Perhaps you should rethink your call name
Okay thanks I'll order another set and hopefully they we'll fit flush the current ones are close but just a couple hairs off I know all the hinges I've seen on eBay have somewhat of a bend to them but my hinge seems to have a bit more serious one. What call name do you suggest and why should I change it? The holes on the body of the jeep seem fine to me there still squared up and do not appear to have any damage.
