Unhappy Hood lift supports

The hood lift supports in my 04 GX470 are shot. I'd like to find an alternative to the dealer replacing them for $300+. However, I can't find them in auto parts stores or in online searches. Any suggestions?

Try your local Toyota Dealer. Should be an easy DIY install.

Got mine from sewell as well for $53 a piece. A 5 minute install. Save your money and do it yourself.

Good luck

Default hood support struts

Thanks for the suggestions. I registered at Sewell's but that part # doesn't work. I searched for the part but can't find it. Can you check that part number again?

Sewell's part search isn't that great to be honest, but the part number is correct.


I'm baffled as to why no aftermarket company makes lift supports for the GX.
