> i dont have any, but this is the wrong forum.... neeed to put it in buying selling then put wtb in ur title....
good luck tho
Oh I'm not trying to buy any... I'm trying to figure out what they are called or what the parts number is so I can give toyota a call. I can only speak of them as hatch support shock thingies..... lol
sweeeeeet... Now I know I can get them. When the car gets running I would like to replace them. The hatch wont even stay open right now. I also am going to try and rig up a way to have the hood open with them. NOT the ones for the hatch... I will do more research when the time comes but I think it would be tight to have the hood open with the struts like that like most new cars....

> just get bigger ones for like a camry or something and custom build the brackets!
Yeah thats what Im thinking.... I can build a bracket like its nothing... I just want to do it right the first time. I also need to figure out the locations for the arms to mount and not interfere with anything... my car is at the shop finishing its swap right now so I cant really do anything with it now. If I do put the dampers on the hood I will make a write up...

> great idea and good luck!
Thanks... Hey you are in the woodlands huh??? do you ever go to houston meets???? If I can get the dampers to work on the hood I can show them to you in person....
easiest way to do the front is a single strut on the interior of the engine bay... that way it compresses straight down and you don't have to worry about it folding over itself....
