    Got my Redline Elites not long after we bought our new Tacoma in 2005. At the time, they were the only hood struts I was aware of.
    They are still in perfect working order after ~16 years. No regrets at all.

    Nice. The redlines have been on my list for awhile but something else keeps coming up. I just think it looks so much better than the stock hood prop.

    I can assure you that having hood struts is very handy. It really does "open up a lot of space".

    My biggest concern was wheeling. I'm not a super hardcore rock crawler, but I've done my fair share of "pucker factor moments" where there is some body/frame "flex", if you get my meaning.

    Anyways, no... there has yet to be an issue with the hood struts and/or mounting points. :thumbsup::fistbump:
