Collection: 79 Series Land Cruiser Bonnet Struts

79 Series Bonnet Struts for Toyota LandCruiser

Ditch the Bonnet Prop Rod for Good

The factory bonnet on a 79 Series is heavy, and Toyota still uses an old school prop rod to hold it open. Every time you check the oil, top up fluids, or work in the engine bay, you are wrestling a heavy bonnet up with one hand while trying to locate the prop rod with the other. Bonnet gas struts replace that outdated system with a pair of gas charged struts that lift and hold the bonnet open effortlessly, giving you full unrestricted access to the engine bay without the prop rod getting in the way.

Bolt In Installation With No Drilling

These bonnet strut kits are designed as a true bolt in upgrade that uses existing mounting points on the bonnet hinges and quarter panels. No drilling, no rivets, and no permanent modifications to the vehicle. The kits include stainless steel brackets, gas struts, ball studs, and all the hardware you need. Most owners have them fitted in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools. It is genuinely one of the easiest and most satisfying upgrades you can do on a 70 Series because the difference is immediate every single time you open the bonnet.

79 Series Bonnet Struts for VDJ79 and GDJ79

Bonnet strut kits are available for both the VDJ79 V8 (2007 to 2023) and the GDJ79 facelift (2024 onward). The pre facelift kits also fit the 76 Wagon and 78 Troopy that share the same bonnet and hinge design. Heavy duty strut options are available for the heavier post 2016 bonnet. If you have a dual battery setup, check the product listing for fitment notes as some configurations may require minor adjustment to clear the struts.
