REDLINE HOOD STRUTS?

Does anyone have the Redline Hood Struts these installed on their rigs?

If so, how do you like them? are they junk? do they interfere with the hood i.e. the strut rubs against the hood or fender when the hood is closed?

 

Love mine.

 

Love mine as well! Group buy is the way to go, order now!

 

Nice!

 

I got a set and I love them! Forgot what model I got but I also got them off a group buy on here. You will need a rivet gun for the install though. I say get a pair!!

 

In my opinion it is a very well made product. But, I did notice that while driving on the highway with the upward pressure their was a lot of hood shake going on. For that reason I would not put them on again.

 

i think they are awesome! I love no prop rod. Easy to install and work very well. I have no hood shake at all.

 

They are a great product I have a set of the Elites on my Tacoma. Just this past weekend I put a set of the Plus on the gf's Tacoma. They make working on the truck easy and I would recommend them to anyone. Groupbuy price made them easy to justify.

Quick and easy to install, I used short screws to install the brackets for the hood instead of the rivets provided, just a preference.

 

I think they are a great Mod to add to any truck. The guys at Vavoline love them easy to open the hood and no messing with the prop rod crap.

 

Same here.

Bought them for the Taco and wife's Rav4.
Missed out on the GB... bought them a couple of weeks too soon.

 

Love mine, wish I would have installed them sooner.

 

I'm rarely under the hood as well... just to check the oil and coolant levels every couple of fuel stops.

They're really nice. Remove the stock hood strut and save half the weight you added

 

Love mine! Got 'em in a group buy. Check my build for pics.

 

Just an FYI, I called Redline some time back to ask about the different models. There is zero difference in strut quality between the different models. The only difference is the finish. The Elite of course is stainless, but unless you are in a salt belt any of the standard finishes will last as long as the struts. I'm getting the bottom model.

Does anyone know when a group buy will come around again?

 

Any new group buys on these?

 

Feel free.
I'm gonna be out camping for about 12 days and setting up a group buy isn't on my prep list.

 

Happy with mine too (group buy purchase). It definitely makes life easier if you have an ARB/larger bumper on the front, any lift and are under six feet tall.

 

On the hood, turn the rubber stops down a bit to tighten the hood when closed; you'll be good to go.

 

The people @ redline are great to deal with,they said anytime TW people want ti do a gb they would b more than happy to do it...if someone is thinking aabout doing it put a feeler in the gb section to make sure u will haveenough to get max diacount,that is what I did when I started the last gb. They are well worth it,i love my ez down t
ailgate strut.

 

+1 on all of the above.
Ordered 2 sets (missed the last GB by a few days), one for the Taco and one for the wife's Rav4.

Rav4, have to remove the stock hood prop because it's in the way of the strut, but on the Taco, the prop can remain so if the struts ever lose charge you're not screwed (I had a '91 Escort wagon that the struts went out on the liftgate and on a cold morning it wouldn't hold)
