Hey,

Do you know the serial number of your jeep?

That does not sound like the right hood number.

Like the photo site. 8)

My dear friends;
I don´t have the serial number, because my jeep came without data plates.
It´s possibel to find this information with this number and engine number?
Tank´s a lot for any information.
Best regards;
Ederson.

That number matches none of the US numbers. It is not correct for the hood registration numbers that were assigned to them at the factory.

Have you looked behind the passenger seat for a small metal plate that is propably covered with paint?
