Buckeye,

Lets feed Argo:

Make sure that the center bump stop is not loose. I've heard this can be a major source of noise. Also I have found that the order in which I engage the hood lock from inside and the latches on the outside has some to do with rattling. (might be my imagination) Clean all three stops off and apply a liberal coating of white lithium grease to each, lastly apply a little spray silicone on the hood latches.

I think the snubbers are a great idea and have contemplated ordering a set. But, I have also heard (humvee.net/HML) that the play in the hood was intentional to relieve stress on the hinges, and that the snubbers can actually over time cause cracks in the hood up around the hinges. (again have only heard)

I'm sure you've heard some/all of this - but fwiw - the trolls are hungry
