Works like a champ!!
I bought this from the boys down under, Mr. Landcruiser in New South Wales. I believe another company around Melbourne actually manufactured it.
What have you done to your Land Cruiser this week?

I bought a pair of those but don't have a hood yet.
Remember, you'll need to specify left or right hand drive! And the $180 is Australian $$, about $118 US.I found it, thanks. Price is OK, but the damn tariffs will probably kill me. In case anyone else is interested, here are the links I found:

. Really happy with them.Although, the single piston version (Mr Landcruiser-OZ) looks to be a good solution too.
Yeah, can't do the double for the brake booster placement. Works great and can be easily disconnected if needed to fold hood all the way back.I’m a fan

Sorry. Late to the party
Daaang that single gas strut hood setup is 
If you are just a little bit handy you can DIY this for about $30 from McMaster-Carr. They even have the parts to do a remote latch set-up.
Intriguing minds want to know how it's attached.... here you go.
I was heading that direction but saw the other so figured I'd try it .
Good call on the mono-strut. 
I watched the installation vid. Even looked easy enough for me to install.

This strut is going on my list of "Cool Things I saw and now I need."
Brought it back home!
Where has it been? AND where is that?
Had some upgrades done at Torfab in Everett, WA
Congrats getting it back. Time to put some miles on! Enjoy
Terrain Tamer parabolics installed, new rims/tires, replace 2ish turn (wtf steering) saginaw box with 3.5 turn(thanks @knuckle47 ) and Terrain Tamer knuckle rebuild.

Does that kit come with longer bumpstops? Those back tires look aweful close to the wheelwells.
