I got mine from Toyota of Dallas, but only because my time is limited during the day and it was easy to order from them online. I would recommend that you contact Beno or CDan for personal service.

Just ordered hood and rear support lifts from Mr. Lou and they are offering a 10% discount for the holidays. $88.61 for all four supports shipped. Cool Lou!
Just ordered mine from Mr.Lou too, all 4 for $89 shipped. Discount code is "holiday10". As stated, good for 10% off entire purchase.

UPDATE:
Mr Lou's still selling these at the same price Anthony.L paid in 2010...except they are running a 10% off Spring sale right now.

I went with StrongArm 4361s also off of Amazon.: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000JZY94Y/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
I just bought some from Mr. Lou's as well. They are in town so I picked them up and the guy working at the desk even offered to install them for me! Good company --
If I knew the aftermarket struts lasted eight or ten years like the OEM, I would buy them in a minute. Looks like you can buy the original Toyota part for $65 each. I just rationalize that as replacing a "wear" item, like belts or hoses. They all have died on my 60-series and 80-series about the same time in the life of the truck, I replace them once, and then they are good until I end up selling the truck with well over 200k mi.
Me too. Although one of them arrived without the bolts. One call to Amazon and I had a new strut the next day.
Strong arm struts are about $18 each shipped.
Just ordered from Mr Lou.

Looking for the end of the road...
2 years later and still rocking the Mr Lou's...
When I go to Mr. Lou's website, the struts for my hood are $22.05 x2=$44.10. I take off the 10% spring discount makes it $39.69 plus $13.40 shipping. That is to Texas.
If I go to ebay and find the same deal from "mrlousstuff" ( Mr. Lou's ebay seller name).... it is 39.00 for the pair plus 6.90 shipping.
You are still buying from Mr. Lou's but you are saving an extra $7 on the shipping by using ebay.
I put in my zip code for the shipping quote on the website to come up with the $13.40. YMMV.
Just fyi....

^^ ditto that.
I ordered a set last week. Getting my head slammed by the hood twice was enough.
I had same issue as Copenhagen1. While on ebay I saw a pair of StrongArms with free UPS shipping. Click-Done...
