## Overview

Featuring corrosion-resistant black powder-coated alloy steel hardware and end-of-stroke dampening technology, this kit offers a clean engine bay and durable performance backed by a 4-year warranty. Installation is straightforward with included hardware and a detailed manual, making it the ultimate upgrade for classic FJ40 owners seeking modern convenience.

## Description

Redline Tuning Hood Quicklift Systems are designed to clean up your engine bay by eliminating the hood prop-rod. The clunky prop-rod is always in the way, but after removing the prop rod and installing a Hood Quicklift System the engine bay is free from obstructions. All Quicklift Systems utilize progressive-rate gas springs that will lift and hold your hood open. Simply start to lift the hood with one hand and it will rise unassisted in a smooth and controlled motion.

Review: Good struts with easy install. - These black hood struts are a great upgrade! Installation was simple with well-detailed instructions, making the process smooth. Just a heads-up—you’ll need a high-quality rivet gun, but everything fits perfectly once installed. The struts are very strong, which is great for securely holding the hood open. However, they do create some spring pressure against the hood latches, causing the hood to push up slightly when driving over bumps. It’s not a real issue, but it can feel a little unexpected at first. Overall, these are durable, high-quality struts that make opening the hood effortless. The sleek black finish looks fantastic and blends in well. Highly recommended!
Review: Modernizing the Classic FJ40 Hood - That is an excellent review that clearly communicates the product's value and necessary installation detail. Here is the 5-star review draft, structured to emphasize the dramatic improvement and ease of installation: 🌟 5-Star Review: Modernizing the Classic FJ40 Hood I was genuinely surprised and thrilled to find the Redline Tuning Hood QuickLIFT Plus System available, especially on desertcart! This product delivers a massive quality-of-life improvement, effectively turning the old 1978 FJ40 hood into a modern hood experience. The heavy hood is now incredibly easy to open and securely held in place by the struts. This upgrade completely eliminates the need to fumble around with the old latch mechanism—a huge benefit. The black hood struts are very strong, providing excellent support and stability when working under the hood. Installation was remarkably simple and smooth, thanks to the well-detailed instructions provided. Everything fit perfectly once installed. Just a necessary heads-up for future buyers: ensure you have a high-quality rivet gun on hand before starting the process. This is a fantastic, high-quality upgrade for any classic FJ40 owner looking for modern convenience and ease of use. Highly recommended!
