New Release: Redline Tuning Hood Struts for 2024+ Tacoma 4th Gen – 10 minute Bolt-In installation!

[Redline Tuning]

Trailhunter stock hood hinge bolt is 8mm x 20mm. CaliRaisedLED Ditch Light bracket is 4.76mm thick; Redline Strut bracket is 3.38mm thick, for a total of 8.14mm. So a "corrected" bolt for my TH would need to be 28.14mm long.

I purchased longer bolts in both 8mm x 25mm and 8mm x 30mm with a washer to make it close to perfect. Will see which works the best.

Please post some pictures of your installation when completed, we would love to see them and add to our website for reference.

@Redline Tuning I haven't seen any one with ditch lights report fitment. So here's mine. I tried to use them with the CBI ditch light bracket and some Diode Dynamics SSC2 pods. Both the lights and brackets are pushed as far "forward" as possible. With the struts they push the hood farther up than with the prop rod causing the wire connector to impact the windshield trim.

@geonerdist Thank you for the feedback. I would recommend you rotate the bracket that mounts directly to your light 180 degrees. This will move the entire light "forward: and give you more clearance. Hopefully this is enough to solve your clearance issue.

I have the CaliRaisedLED ditch lights and brackets. I reported in this Forum that I purchased longer bolts to account for both brackets. But I do not have a fitment problem. It may be the ditch light brackets that you are using unless they are the same as mine...

Oh my goodness...I did not think of that. I suspect that will work perfectly! I'll report back.
