Gas Strut Kit Vendor

[MiyamotoMusashi]

Aloha members.
Looking for a little help jogging my memory - Does anyone remember a vendor who was selling gas strut kits to replace the hood balancer?
It would have been in the last 2-3 years. I bought the kit and I'm normally pretty good with keeping records but I can't find anything.
Thanks for any help sent my way.

Yes, C2 Design sells them. You can find Chris' thread here:

FJ60/62 Hood Strut Kits ready to ship

We've been building hood strut kits for the 70 series trucks for a while....decided to branch out into the 60 series as we had one in the shop for a few months. Some of the parts crossed over which was great. We're offering a hood strut kit to get rid of the prop rod and the OEM helper...

I've just installed these and they are really nice, only one item of note is the hood doesn't open up quite as wide as it does with the stock configuration. It's fine for me and the execution of the parts is top notch. Chris is great to deal with too. No affiliation, just a happy customer.
