1970 Hood Kit
for Jimny JB74 / JC74

Restrained aluminum hood geometry keeps an OEM-close front profile while cutting weight by 65% and adding smaller integrated vents for heat dissipation.

The Salado Hood is designed to announce overland intent through large vents and structural expression. The 1970 series needs the opposite: a quieter exterior, vintage references, clean surfaces, and restraint without giving up function. The 1970 Hood Kit uses the same aluminum weight-reduction principle, cutting 65% from the OEM steel hood and removing 25+ kilograms from the nose. That lower front mass supports more composed throttle response, braking, and vehicle feel. The vent is smaller and more integrated than the Salado version, but it still uses aluminum's higher thermal conductivity to release engine-bay heat. From the front, the hood stays close to the OEM profile while adding substance from above.
