FREE Hood Strut Kit (90-95 4Runner/89-95 pickup)

Looking for someone in the Portland area to volunteer their 2nd Gen 4Runner/90's pickup for us to take some photos, to be used for installation manual of our about-to-be-released hood strut kit for these trucks. You'll get to keep the hood struts as a "thank you". Preferably light color truck, to better show off the black brackets.

Please message with any questions.

Here's the prototype installation:

Yup, need to make a new mold for the brackets, stamp them out, then powder coat. Probably looking at 6 weeks before it's ready for sale.

I'm curious where your test vehicle got that hood insulator. My factory one is in tatters, and I've been looking to replace I like the look of what's in that vehicle.

Plus, I'm interested in the struts, too!

I will ask him about the insulator, although I suspect it was there when he bought the truck.
