[@MrMikey1273]

I had these hood struts even before my Tacoma came in. Installed for a year and a half and still working perfectly. The Truck should have came with these From the factory.

[@kevinmcaloney4792]

2 1/2 years later still give these 5 stars. No pressure loss in the struts. Still lifts the hood (scoop and deflector) nice and high. No issues with the ground stud. I know you had issues with your cold air intake, but these clear my oem TRD CAI no problem.

[@RobMotive]

Great to hear. Thanks for the info👍

[@adamryanburrows]

Hey Rob, I have the same ones. Love them. A little video tip, keep your camera's shutter speed to around 1/50 of a second and you won't have blurred motion.

[@FergieNCC2475]

Installed these hours ago because of this wonderful video. You made it so simple and easy. They work great and super happy. One small thing: never was able to get the push pin back in place in the pass side trim piece. Love the video and your channel!

[@RobMotive]

Thanks 👍

[@miketrentham6632]

I've had my 2019 Tacoma off-road now for a week. I've got bad rotator cuff problems, and after seeing your video, I have ordered a set.

[@RobMotive]

They make life much easier 👍

[@miketrentham6632]

Really like your videos. Lots of palm trees there, you in Florida?

[@C10-BMC]

Hey Rob, thanks for the video. I just picked up a 2023 Limited and did these today. Installation was a breeze thanks to your video! 👍🏻👍🏻

[@RobMotive]

Congrats on the new Tacoma! Glad to help👍

[@aeromedical6750]

Hood struts are the very first mod you should add to a Tacoma that doesn’t come stock with them. I went with a different brand that require drilling, but these seem to be a great option as well. Once you have them installed, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without them. That hood is freaking HEAVY.

[@RobMotive]

Definitely one of the first few👍👍

[@jefferyedwards5003]

Having just replaced the spark plugs in my 2017 last week, I could see where these can get in the way with that maintenance and other types of work...especially on the drivers side!

[@williambauer8034]

I'm not sure about the extra push on the driver's side strut, just installed them and then I noticed that yours is doing too. had to force the driver's side up to get it to snap in place, I'm not taking them off and we shall see what happens, thanks Rob, the video did make it easy.

[@Steak_59]

@RobMotive just finished installing these same struts with that same air intake without cutting the filter box. No conflicts at all. Thought you might like to know.

[@RobMotive]

That's great to hear! Of course it's too late for me😬

[@Steak_59]

@RobMotive yeah that sux, but knowing going forward with your platform may come in handy was my thoughts. You are spot on with all your tutorials.

[@ValKuulei]

So easy to install. I luv them. Truth be told. I don’t go under my hood but feel safer if and when i or anyone else needs to.

[@RobMotive]

Definitely simple and more secure👍

[@MPGunther1]

Easy / Peasy and they work great! Yea, that odd ball bolt at the ground caught me off guard too.

[@RobMotive]

Glad to help👍

[@brettmillard1338]

Awesome! I'm in for an order. Thanks for sharing this. I never purchased the Red Line Tuning struts solely based on the fact that I didn't want to drill into my truck for just hood struts. These are a great option. I'm sure the Red Line ones work better, but it beats drilling.

[@RobMotive]

Definitely better than drilling!!👍

[@mariosantacruz9538]

[@RobMotive]

[@THEBIGCHULETA]

Glad you did this video, I was looking at this same kit but I was questioning whether it was good or not. I’m ordering it now! :)

[@2wind2000]

Nice add on! Thanks for the tips! However, I did not have to remove that side panel, I just popped off the area closest to the mount area and swiveled it upward for access to the bolt hole. Literally a 10 minute job thanks to your video. 15 min if you drop the passenger side bolt under the wiper fluid reservoir!! ARGHHH!

[@RobMotive]

Lol! Great to hear! Thanks for watching 👍

[@roncollins4908]

Like the idea of these, but not sure I'd trust my hands and neck under the hood on a cold New England morning.

[@RobMotive]

Cold might affect them, but I wouldn’t be too worried👍

[@dancortez7176]

You can always use the struts to lift the hood and use the rod for a fail safe.

[@RobMotive]

The struts lift the hood too high for the rod to engage.

[@jplewis8432]

Thanks for the great video, installed mine in 20 minutes flat.

[@RobMotive]

Nice! Glad to help👍

[@bps5891]

I was pumped when I saw that you purchased the EXACT same tacoma I have. I am eagerly awaiting more mods, but I am REALLY wanting to see what you do with the headlights. LED bulbs or entire projector? I am waiting on you bud before I do mine. lol.

[@RobMotive]

Lol! They are on the list (replacements), but not near the top😬

[@spacecoastz4026]

I'm not a fan of having to drill, but I think the other ones that requiring drilling would be better long term. I don't like the mechanics of these...the ones that require drilling have better leverage.

[@rickking823]

I have the same hood struts rob they're awesome I really didn't want to drill holes and I saw a video of someone installing these so I took a chance ordered them haven't been disappointed at all Had mine for about a year now no complaints

I'm guessing they will need some modifications if you have ditch light brackets.

[@RobMotive]

Could be? I've never installed ditch lights🤔

[@BenChavez56]

@@RobMotive the ditch light brackets use the same bolts as those. So probably would leave a gap between the hood and the 3m tape.

[@RobMotive]

Lol! Email me Toyota !!😂

[@goride365]

I put these on my tacoma and it pushed up the hood on the corner end of the hood near the windshield... pushed it down with some force but it came up again, maybe only a millimeter or 2 but it was pretty noticeable. Took em off and returned em. Gotta love amazon reruns... maybe they had too much pressure?

Thanks bro

[@Enchanted3DPrints]

What about when your ground bolt shears off? I dont like this design. Looks like its going to be a problem down the road. I think the prop rod will work just fine for me. Cool idea but bad execution by the company.

[@RobMotive]

Never go with a mod you’re not comfortable with. I’m ok with this one👍

[@danc2014]

Note the two lines from the battery. You can also move the ground to the next bolt on the car but when this round stud head fails the ground will remain on the car as the pivot ball will fail first.

[@RobMotive]

I see no reason why it would fail🤔

[@danboston2630]

Will these fit a 1st gen Tacoma?

[@garyelliott2793]

Well, ruined my christmas present. T HF e bolt with nine for passenger side sheared off in threaded hole. Cannot get it out and not sure it can be drilled out and retain thread. I had to use a combo wrench because the bolt did not fit any size metric nor SAE. I can probably get a replacement but will gave no hole for threading it in. Guess I can ask dealer but will compound costs if they ha e to machine and re tap. I give up. No struts for me

[@RobMotive]

That’s a drag! Wonder what happened?

[@garyelliott2793]

@@RobMotive had to use a combo wrench since it did not fit metric nor SAE box or open end wrenches. Too close to air filter to work comfortably. Going to see if it can be drilled out but probably cannot re tap for threaded hole even if I could get another replacement bolt. May have been defective but suspect metal not the best coming from Taiwan.

[@scottgorman7166]

Were you able to get out the broken bolt? If not did you try drilling the cener of the bolt and using a Easy Out and some penetrating oil?

[@DieselsHOGVlog]

Hey Rob, now that those struts have been on a while how are they and their mounts holding up? I'll grab a set if you're still pumped with the quality.

Good question. I haven't noticed this on mine.

[@markemery888]

Hi Rob, I enjoy your videos. I have another tip that I just learned from a fellow mechanic. When in need of a drill stop, slip a socket over the chucked up drill, leaving the length of drill desired. He called it the poor man's drill stop.

[@RobMotive]

I like it👍👍

[@stuff4meutube]

A little iffy on the double-sided tape. Seems like a good product/mod, but for something as heavy as a hood, can you really rely on the tape?

[@RobMotive]

The tape is really inconsequential. More of a locator for the bracket. The screw is the true mechanical part of the device👍

[@T.Masters-jf9ze]

One thing I can say is the inner fender peg on passenger side flexes a good amount when you close the hood. Maybe because that strut is long and takes the initial pressure plus new. Still I was kind of surprised. Maybe it will relax some after using it enough. These aren't aftermarket fenders. 🤷

[@Papparratzi]

I figured they’d be in th $200 range, but your link is less the $60 thanks. Oh yeah, I’m short so I’m glad you pointed out the hood latch as a grab👍

[@DTYREE]

Buyer beware, i ordered these, amazon sent a difference brand where the brackets have a bend in them so the weight of the hood isn't supported at the top allowing it to flex when you pull against it to close the hood. I don't know why they substituted brands but this was a poor design and I will be sending them back.
