Made my own JK limb risers. Went to Lowes and spent $22 on parts. For the hood latch tab, I used a steel plate from a large U-bolt. The cable was clear vinyl covered 3/16" aircraft cable. Grabbed some lockable links to allow for disconnecting the limb risers. Added the cable clamps and aluminum turnbuckle rod. Drilled a hole in the steel U-bolt plate to get it to fit the hood latch bolts. Painted them black. Used Firestik CB antenna mirror mounts for the upper anchors mounted to my Gobi roof rack. Painted them black.Once the upper and lower mounts were in place, I assembled the links and turnbuckles. I crimped the upper cable end and used heat shrink. Then I put the cable through the turnbuckle eye, pulled it tight, folded it back, and marked it for cutting. I cut the cable to length, crimped it, and heat shrinked it. Finally, I adjusted the turnbuckles to tension the cables. I added heat shrink around the lower clamp threads to prevent my hood paint from getting scratched when opening the hood, since the threads are sharp. Done!
