It almost looked like you tried that!

The catch didn't hold it? I always thought that big hook would.

thanks to The Dude by the way for taking the pics..
no it was weird.. it was like click.. uh.. bam!!!
it was loud as hell and i was going like 80 in the center lane..
i have more pics.. I bungied it down and beat on it with a mallot, it was way worse when it first happened, the hood was way off center by a good 6 inches to the right, so I had to pry on it with a crobar just to get it over far enough to close, then I had to jump on it for it to click...

Been there done that (not in the Jeep though),

Not funny at the time that's for sure.

That happened to me, LOUD is a good word to describe it. Look like the Jeep handled it pretty well.
