Apparently the oem struts have left the building just as I’m finally ready to sell my ranger. Want to get some struts on there for cheap.

Redline I believe makes hood struts for most vehicles. I added them recently to my old TACO. Great products.

My 23 model year tremor didn't have struts. Didn't realize older models came with them.

Yes, I put redlines on my cx-30 which replaced the ranger, love them. I’m looking for a cheap strut that doesn’t suck. lol

Forget the hood dampers...get your self a genuine DZEE tailgate damper instead!

Redlines off Amazon...
That's one of the 1st things I swapped out when I bought the truck. The hood prop sucked. The redlines also lift the hood @ 6 inches higher.
Any mice where you are Tim? Maybe it’s just the picture, but that looks to be chewed right through.

Good eye Duke!
Thanks Steve, I’m hoping it’s just a grainy photo that doesn’t show the wires very well against his brake fluid reservoir.
