Thanks, went ahead messaged him. Wonder if anyone else has any recommendations.
I’m running Chris’s (@c2dfj45 ) product and no longer see my hood as a potential guillotine. 😁
 
I bought this kit and it is solid for the money.

Nice I think I remember seeing your post when I was looking around. Thats good to know it’s been holding up since you bought it. Now leaning on this but weighing my options. Thanks for the input!
 
I’m also using Chris’s kit on my HZJ75. Quality stuff from a great guy. I wouldn’t look anywhere else.

Can't get a hold of Chris, wanting to order another set for my HZJ75
Didn't know I was so hard to get a hold of :)
@wngrog grabbed the last 2 kits on the shelf yesterday, we'll put some more in production right now..... @coldtaco PM me for payment info.

For anyone wanting a high quality hood strut kit, this is it. We are going on probably our 8th year of making these. 100% made by hand in our shop.....we even do our own powdercoating on them. They fit ALL 70 series trucks.......RHD, LHD, Prado, etc. I think there was one truck that needed some clearance work on a 2nd battery mount or something to fit one of the struts when compressed. It's a super nice setup and really nice not to have a prop rod in your way

Our latest build with a strut kit and filthy engine compartment :cool:

Put me down for a set when you restock! My hood almost took me out the other day.
I would suggest sending Chris a P.M. so he will get an email alert.
