Redline Hood Struts Installed--Mission Accomplished

[Happy Trails II]

Took about an hour to install the Redline hood strut kit. Max lift option. I found the instructions clear. The process simple. And the product good quality. Used a tapered reamer to slightly enlarge the drilled holes for the rivets. Happy with the results.

Thanks for all the advice from this forum

Can you get a side profile shot? I wonder how much space there is with the high lift for ditch lights.

Good job on the install!

Nice, definitely in my short list of things to get done!

That looks nice. I definitely want to add struts to my truck eventually.

I got the carbon fiber covers. When it's closed the end caps touch the under hood trim, when I open the hood it pulls it off more of the time. Any fix for that?

Hood struts rock but should have come with the vehicle like most other Toyota's. Sad it's an aftermarket fix, but it makes a world of difference, and is worth the price if you do any work under the hood, or hook up a compressor.
