Driving the coast in Tunisia
If you can fit that in your carry-on luggage, I call dibs.
Just curious, how long is the rear bed?
Now in

My bad, caffeine hasn't kicked in yet.
I have 80 barn doors for the overhead
While not 70 Series specific, I did buy a hoard of Jerry Can holders for future use.

Been wanting to do this for a while....bought some parts....put some holes in my hood.....gas struts and no more prop rod.
HZJ73 gets them next as it took me a few sets of struts to figure out the right weight I needed....my hood is really heavy on the 79 with the sound deadener so I had to keep going up. Way up. 73 hood is super light in comparison.
After almost 30 years of owning Toyotas, it's really strange to open a hood and not put a prop rod in. Really really weird.

BT Struts has a kit down there where you are. I figured it would be expensive to bring one in to the States so I made my own.
I think I'll put together a kit(I want to make a reinforcement plate under the bracket for the hood) and sell them once I do the 73 kit. Figured a few guys will want them for the earlier trucks. Not a whole lot of LC79s running around in the US......
I think you would be able to sell some for the narrow-nose trucks. If your prototype does not have a hood insulator or windshield rest blocks you may want to pad the lifting force a bit when you size them. Most will have an insulator and a few will have rest blocks.
Thanks for the Heads-Up on that c2dfj45.
I'll go and have a look.
FYI; BT cruiser struts

I agree.....narrow nose trucks will be a good setup and thanks for the heads up on the insulator/rest blocks....my truck has none.
Maybe I'll have to get a set to someone with both those things to test. I'm pretty sure though that the leverage of the hood and the way they work, I can use a pretty heavy strut.
