FULL INSTALL for Tacoma Hood Struts/ Step-By-Step

FULL INSTALL for Tacoma Hood Struts/ Step-By-Step

Installing Tacoma hood struts is a great way to give your truck a custom look and make it easier to open and close the hood. It can be a bit of a challenge to install the struts, but with a few simple steps, you can have them installed in no time. The first step is to locate the hood prop rod. This is the rod that holds the hood in place when you open it. Youll need to remove this rod and the two brackets attached to it. Once this has been removed, youll need to locate the two studs on the hood that the prop rod was attached to. Next, youll need to assemble the hood struts. This includes attaching the two mounting plates to the hood, and then attaching the struts to the plates. Make sure that the mounting plates are secured to the hood properly, or else the struts wont be able to support the weight of the hood. Once the hood struts are assembled, youll need to mount them to the hood. This is done by attaching the mounting plates to the studs that were previously removed. Make sure the struts are aligned properly, and then use the nuts and bolts provided to secure the struts in place. Finally, youll need to adjust the tension on the hood struts. This can be done by turning the tension adjustment screws located on the struts. Once youve adjusted the tension, your Tacoma hood struts are ready to use. Installing Tacoma hood struts can be a bit daunting, but with a few simple steps, youll have them installed in no time. Make sure to take your time and read the instructions carefully so that the installation goes smoothly and your Tacoma looks great.
