1996-2004 Toyota Tacoma 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 7"! 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!

I bought these for my 2004 TRD after having my eyes on them for about 4 months. Now that they’re installed I have no idea why I waited! Installation instructions were spot on, making this one of the rare few hassle free mods I’ve performed. Having a 2nd set of hands to hold the hood fully open would’ve been helpful when drilling the rivet holes but I managed with a shoulder under it while standing on a stool. Excited to add the engine bay lights very soon too! Well worth every penny!
I put the struts on my 2006 toyota Tacoma , and they are simply fantastic. No more dealing with that rod as I did for years. Also purchased the hood light , which was easy to
Installed and works just as great. Keep up the great work , looking forward to see what else you my put out.
At least 6” higher than the stock stick. Very easy to install. Probably less than 10 minutes. Mixed with the LED kit, maybe 30 mins total. Engine bay game changer.
I ordered the struts only as I already have I light kit for it. About 5 days later it arrived. I installed it that very next weekend. Installation was a snap. Took me about 30 minutes ( I took my time with the install). It works perfectly and it clears everything. No problems with any of the hardware. Rivets broke cleanly as they are designed.
Thank you Austin for all that you do for us in the “Yoda” community!
Now if I can figure out how to Mount some gauges on my a pillar and lose the oh crap handle!!!
