Easy install. Awesome quality. A must have. Got it installed on my 1st gen taco and 3rd gen 4Runner. Now I need the struts for the rear hatch!

1996-2002 Toyota 4runner EZ Lift Hood Strut System
Check out my YouTube video of installing this HERE!
Are you tired of that pesky OEM hood prop rod, or is it completely missing? Here is your solution!! The EZ Lift hood strut system!!
This is a game changer for your truck! No more working around the terribly placed OEM prop rod. No more looking through the scrap bin for a piece of all-thread to hold up the hood!
With the EZ Lift hood struts, you simply pop the hood and the hood opens on its own!! The struts are mounted towards the rear of the engine bay, out of the way when you are under the hood!!
Another added benefit, this kit raises the hood height by 4"! This makes working under the hood much nicer, it also lets in more natural light!!
Very simple to install! This kit installs in under 30 minutes using basic tools!
Want even more light under the hood? Check out my engine bay lights!! This engine bay light kit will change you forever! The ultra bright LED turns on when you open the hood, and turns off when you close it! Now you don't have to constantly yell at your kids because they are holding the flashlight wrong!!! You can check these kits out HERE!

Easy to follow instructions. Only thing you might need to install is a rivet gun. Fast shipping. Will be ordering another setup for my 1st gen

I absolutely love the hood struts and light! Really easy install with the supplied parts and instructions. The only thing you will need is a rivet gun. I wish I had done these mods a long time ago!

Easy to install, plenty of lifting power. Well designed and could have been factory. 5Stars would recommend

Hi, I watch your shows on YouTube all the time. I really like the work you do about the hood shocks. That I purchased on the website website so that I can get an entry on the truck you were auctioning off, but I never got the entry fee. For purchasing the shocks, but it doesn’t matter. I still will continue to watch your show. I’m finding very entertaining a lot of knowledge thank you.

Ball joints are not the strongest. Also just make sure you measure right. Pretty strong hydraulics so one works fine

Haven’t gotten a chance to install them yet because I swapped the whole front end suspension the other day. They look nice, and the rebound/compression feels strong. I have faith in the product you supply, Thanks again!
