2nd Gen Tacoma Hood Struts - NO More Heavy Lifting!

[@spikerengineering3447]

Nice video Tuan! One note of caution about the changing the location of the fender brackets, at ~ 2:25 mark. The location stated in the instructions was chosen for a reason, and deviating from it may cause problems for some installations. When setting the hood at near-stock height, the passenger strut may hit the windshield washer reservoir when the hood is closed. It won't be an issue for hood heights > ~ 3" above stock, but this is something to be aware of. Even though the bracket feels "loose" at that location, it'll be very sturdy once riveted in place.

I bought some Redline hood struts already too and still need to find time to install mine!

Installed them on my 2nd gen. Made in America!

I have a 2013, installed them and love it but. I installed the mounts opposite and it worked a lot better. The 90deg angle mounts work better on the hood. Haven’t had an issue yet, no more heavy hood.

Enjoyed the video. Have to get this installed on my 2nd gen.

Hey the cool thing is when the struts get worn out youll still have the old hood support

Just wondering what center punch is that?

[@baileyhooper5337]
