Added some 1” black keepers to the adjustment straps. Passed the 55mph highway test. IMHO it tidies up the the aft section of the top. Before/after

Had one on my hard top but I run a soft top. A rag or something will do just fine. Thanks for the link though! that’s sweet. I wonder where to get that.

Found a pic. ,l

There was someone offering a kit with a single shock in the middle of the hood it looked real nice. Came off the firewall to the Center of the hood but I think his was a split hood and it bolted to the Center rib.

What about 1 in the middle, on the rib and to the plate you have on fiewall ??

It’s funny cause I obviously knew my hood opened up all the way to rest on the top, but I always used the prop instead. When off-roading with @65swb45 I asked for his assistance on adjusting the carb and he said something to the effect of “well...

There is a pad from toyota that fits on the hard top rain gutter to provide some protection. 63119-90030... it is $5 https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/hood-bumper.1049832/

Here's how I did my gas stays. Did some math, then welded some brackets onto the hood and firewall where the math said to put them. Alternatively could be bolted brackets. I was just in a position where I didnt care about paint. Bolting to the...

I have a rope on my roof rack for the same purpose.😉

I always lean the hood on the cab w/rag if handy. Have paracord to go from hood latch over roof to tie to back bumper - wind will blow the hood closed loudly and it doesn't take much of a gust to do the dirty work. Extra paracord is always...

Good idea. The hood blowing shut is a nightmare scenario to me. I just imagine it becoming an amputation waiting to happen. I wouldn't be lucky enough for it to be my head, I'd be one of my favorite fingers. 🤣 I have a foam block with a...

It sounds like finding or making a proper hood prop might be easier. The benefit to a hood prop is having the option to tilt the hood against the windshield if you need more room to work. I always use a rag where they make contact.

That is a good point. Was thinking previously of cutting out the side mounted one on my later model hood that’s currently on there and using that one. The split hood had a different center mounted prop.

Yes. It does. That’s what I typically do is just put it up to the windshield. And I could easily continue doing that. The new hood is a split hood and I actually paid a s*** ton on eBay years ago for a completely mint chrome strip (pretty rare to...

About to replace my hood with an older split hood and it has no hood prop so i want to do it w gas shocks. Anyone have pics of theirs mounted and maybe where to source the correct shocks? Thx.

Looks like I’ll be going another year with no top!🤪😂😂

solid rotor would be a mini truck, vented rotor would be Landcruiser can't tell from the pic if mini truck solid rotor, the rotor and caliper can be changed out for Landcruiser there may be some hole issues depending on what year hub and...

I feel kinda dumb asking as I SHOULD know; but I can’t recall honestly. 15 years ago I had a front disc conversion done to my ‘74 fj40. Original axle I’m pretty sure it was a mini truck swap out. I’m in need of new calipers rotors and pads and I...
