Toyota Tacoma Must Have Hood Mod | Forget Your Hood Rod, Get Hood Struts

[@LuisLizcano]

Houston, TX with my 2019 Tacoma TRD Off-Road!

[@LuisLizcano]

Tacoma Beast thank you so much!! Y’all are the best!’

[@JoseOArce-hr2dc]

The first state ...DELAWARE... you Chanel has been very instructional and helpful. It’s one of my favorite and keeps getting better. I’m an old timer and lifting this hood is a real pain. I own a 2019 taco TRD off-road.

[@ryanburger763]

Great vid. I’m in Lincoln, NE and my 2019 TRD Off Road would love those struts.

[@aeromedical6750]

I just installed these bad boys and absolutely love them. It’s well worth having to drill and rivet to get this level of installation. Those “no drill” models have a leverage point that don’t instill confidence in me that they’ll hold up user time. These are positioned in a way that I feel provide better support to the hood.

[@tacomabeast]

Glad you enjoyed them!

[@nickk3085]

I just ordered them from Amazon 4/17/24 I hope I have no problem installing them This video and installing details are A+

[@edwardrios9383]

Outstanding Sir, thank you. Going to installed just as you say. Thank you for not talking too much. Deland, Florida here.

[@tacomabeast]

Glad to help

[@6191904life]

I've had these on my 2019 Tacoma for about a year now. They work great make opening that heavy hood so easy.

[@johnlemieux1065]

I’m from Rawlins, Wyoming. This hood prop system is what I truly need for my 2019 3rd Gen Tacoma DCLB TRD-OR pickup. Took delivery of the cool long-bed truck after trading in my 2016 3rd Gen Tacoma DCSB TRD-OR. Preferred long bed over the short bed version.

[@GWBarker]

Mebane, North Carolina here! 2016 4x4 SR5 I absolutely asked a Toyota engineer why there weren't hood struts on the Tacoma. I asked them to please add this as an option. I can only hope they took it back with them. For me, I will have to use one of these systems!

[@thaddeuscramer74]

Great video and Mod, 2013 TRD 4x4 Four Door finally paid off : ) 105,000 miles and going strong. Surprise, Arizona

[@abakedchile1235]

I’m glad I found this Chanel I have a 2004 Tacoma saving up for a new one

[@tipride7348]

Another great video TCMBST! Definitely need these on my 2020 Tacoma TRD Off Road Memphis, TN

[@RedlineTuningInc]

Great Video! We love seeing our vendors videos. And yes, our systems are designed and made in the USA. We are the original hood QuickLIFT manufacturer and have specialized in this for 20 years. Thank you TacomaBeast.com!

[@DennisA-1]

Excellent Video! You made it look easy, so I installed them on my 2017 Tacoma. A must have ! Thanks for the detailed instructions!

[@tacomabeast]

Glad it helped!

[@michaelmcbee8707]

Hey my name is mike mcbee I'm in Tennessee, I have a 2011 Toyota tacoma sport,I really love the thought of being able to change the way I can work on my truck without the hood rod getting in the way.the video is awesome buddy, it would be a blessing to get a set of them.

[@tiptoeinn]

[@phillipmarlow5267]

Thank you so much from western Canada. Your instructions helped me through this with ease.

[@tacomabeast]

Glad it helped!

[@ciriacocuenco9053]

Mahalo, you made it look easy installing the shocks on the hood! Installing those in my tacoma will prevent the hood from dropping on my hand. Lol

[@georgeinoue4286]

Great mod much needed for us older Taco drivers. ALOHA AND MAHALO FOR THE INFORMATION HAWAII

[@filipegodoi]

Wow this is great! Believe me, this will look great on my 2017 Quicksand! Living it up in good ol North Carolina!

[@HEFig41300]

Florida. I wasn’t thinking of doing this but the way it was done and explained so well I’m considering it.

[@soulsurfer8797]

SoCal’s Finest. J/k. Always enjoy your contact and would love this for my Tacoma or my 1st Gen 4runner. California has checked-in. All others need not apply. Lol. Hope to see you guys on the trail some day.

[@pc0u633]

Hey Mateo! Glad to see your still vertical. You can send those 3rd gen hood lifts down here in the Tampa Bay area, Florida. Love ya, Man.

[@russellmorash3816]

Yeah damn stick is so dangerous I could wait to get these on I got the higher level ones after you unlock the hood on finger and it goes up by itself nice install man exactly the way I did it great job I am not sure if you did it or not but when drilling the whole for the hood I wrapped electrical tape around the top of the drill bit only allowing a small amount to protrude and drill very slow ones the bit went through the steel the tape kept it from going through the outer hood

[@tacomabeast]

That’s a good tip! And we’re glad you liked the product

[@DavidSanchez-vg6qx]

This is just plain practical. Don’t know why Toyota just doesn’t include features like this. Or power seats, finally, San Diego, CALIFORNIA!!

[@ryanburger763]

I’m from Nebraska and would love to win those struts for my 2019 TRD Off Road. Great vid and great explanation.

[@rogerencomienda5434]

[@joshvelasquez7817]

2020 Tacoma TRD off-road! Would love this for my first Tacoma that I own. From Texas!!

[@ZChaz715]

Drill bit stop collars and/or tape (really?) can slip thus ruining your day faster than anything. I use copper tubing cut to allow only the minimum drill bit tip exposed needed to accomplish the drilling through the metal (hood or anything else that stopping the bit is critical). When the bit pierces the metal, the tubing stops you from going any further. No slipping of some mickey mouse collar or (even worse) tape. Just make sure your bit is tight in the drill. Use only high quality bits that are sharp. Cheap usually equals disaster waiting to happen, especially if it involves an allen (hex) wrench (i.e. stop collars).

[@danishtaco3852]

Thanks for the install video! This would be perfect for my 2019 TRD OR. Here in Texas!

[@teodorosantos9509]

Salinas CA This mod would be the sauce to my taco 🌮 🔥🙌🏼 simple yet super helpful!

[@Frostbyte911]

@TacomaBeast I realize you used touch up paint to coat the bare metal from drilling your holes, but aren’t you still worried about rust?

[@wilsonlanza1]

Great installation instructions! 👌🏼 thank you for your great videos, you guys rock.

[@MandohBeats]

Tustin California checking in! Would be dope for my 2020 Trd Sport!

[@ethanmarshall8681]

I’m super confused. I bought the ones in this video and followed the tutorial to a T and somehow my struts are too long so it won’t allow me to actually close my hood now.

[@tacomabeast]

Shoot us an email at [e-mail] and we’ll be happy to help you 🤙

[@theycallmeoldschool1444]
