  • Our new ULTIMATE Lift ND Hood Strut Kit for 1st Gen (’84-89) 4Runners and ’84-88 Toyota Pickups eliminates the prop rod and makes your engine compartment free and clear of obstacles.
  • The “ND” (“No-Drill”) series of hood strut kits are 100% bolt-on, with no drilling required and no permanent alterations to your truck.  This makes installation a breeze, and is completely reversible should you choose to remove the hood struts at a later point.
  • One-handed hood opening and closing – the struts lift the hood smoothly to its fully open position, and allow it to close and latch securely without slamming.
  • Kit comes complete with premium OEM-quality components, including two enameled gloss black hood struts, heavy gauge black powder coated brackets, all required installation hardware including our innovative “SlotLOK” nutplates for the hood, and illustrated step-by-step installation instructions.
  • Easy installation in under 15 minutes.
  • 5 year warranty.
  • 100% Made in USA.
  • Designed and tested to work with all stock ’84-89 4Runners and ’84-88 Toyota Pickups.
  • Contact us if you have non-stock additions or alterations under the hood along the inner fenders. We’ve worked with customers to accommodate many unusual situations.

    Kit was extremely easy to install. Took longer to open the container and read the instructions than the actual install! The gas struts not only open the hood more but eliminates the hood prop rod that’s in the way when working on the engine! I like the clean look when the hood is open with no prop rod! I don’t know why Toyota didn’t do this at the factory but I’m glad that Spiker figured out!

    Excellent product. I purchased these for my mom’s truck and we are both very happy with the ease of access to the engine bay. Very easy to install, and the detailed instructions are amazing. I had a question about adjusting the EFI resistor for clearance for the struts and Leon wrote back to me quickly with advice, very much appreciated.

    Went with these hood struts because of the no drill. Worked awesome installed in 10 mins. Installed on a supercharged 3.4 swapped 88 4runner. Enough clearance on the driver side where the charcoal canister bracket sits also..ties everyrhi g together.

    This kit is GREAT! Easy to install and such a nice upgrade from the prop. Getting the hood a bit higher is a nice side benefit as well. Thanks again!

    Bought these for my buddy as a birthday gift. He was super stoked to get them and got em installed on his first gen about an hour after I gave them to him. Hood lifts with a pinky finger now, and has a lot more clearance than before. Thanks guys!!

    I installed these hood struts on my 86 pickup. They work great and the instructions were easy to follow. Thanks for creating this simple and easy to use product!

    These things are great! aside from the obvious benefit of a self-rising hood without the manual strut, the hood opens a couple of inches further. Very easy to install, and top notch quality

    I have owned my 88 4Runner from the beginning, so 35 years. I am very particular about what I do to it and the items I put on it. This strut kits is one of the best things I have seen for an up grade. Once I had them installed, I was sharing pictures and feedback with several Gen1 4Runner groups. THANK YOU for making a great kit for our Gen1 4Runners.

    Thank you all for a great product. This 1st generation 4Runner hood strut kit installation was quick and easy. The hardware and fasteners are of great quality. I only hope there will be the same kit for my 2nd Generation 4Runner soon. Outstanding product.
