I've just bought an '09 dual cab, trayback Hilux and am slowly doing it up for a trip across Oz from Brisbane to Alice to Kalgoorlie to Perth later on this year. I've done a 50mm lift, installed dual batteries, snorkle, bullbar, Narva driving lights, 80 litre under tray water tank, roof console, Coopers AT tyres on standard rims and have yet to fit the long range fuel tank and winch.
One of things I didn't really like about it was how the bonnet is held open. Being a short guy it was difficult to put the bonnet rod up with the lift kit so I reviewed it on this forum and found out that most people were buying them from overseas. After many phone calls I discovered that no-one really wanted to help me to install bonnet struts, or that they have never done it before and didn't want to do it.
Well I finally found a person who not only wanted to help me, but was so helpful that I created a document on how to install the struts, including photos, and sent it to him. They work perfectly and cost me $165 plus postage of $15 from SA to Brisbane. He sent me photos, told me what to do via email and voice, and was really helpful with a lot of good advice. I ended up changing the design slightly but the overall design was Vic's.
If anyone is interested in purchasing and installing the bonnet struts, I would highly recommend Vic from SA. His web address is http://www.strutmaster.net or you can send him an email to vikk@bigpond.net.au. If anyone wants me to send them some piccies, let me know and I'll forward it to you.
