• Replaces the factory folding strut. A compact folding-style holder goes in its place, designed around the N70 mounting points.
• Clears space where you actually work. More room around turbo piping, intercooler plumbing and accessories with no bulky gas strut in the way.
• Suits a build in progress. Turbo installs, intercooler piping and wiring all get easier when that corner is open.
• Keeps the bay clean. Tidier presentation with the strut gone.

• Toyota Hilux N70 / KUN26. 2005 to 2015.

Minor adjustments may be required depending on your bonnet configuration or aftermarket accessories.

It will not work properly with the airbox installed. If your bay still runs the factory airbox, this holder is not for you. Do not order it hoping to make it work around one.

• HPD folding bonnet holder assembly.
• Hardware. Depending on the vehicle, the install may reuse OE fasteners and brackets. See the fitting notes below.

• Support the bonnet safely while you remove the factory strut or prop. It has to be held by something before you undo anything.
• Mount to the OE location and check the latch and clearance before you call it done.
• Cycle the bonnet open and closed and confirm nothing touches pipes or wiring at any point in the travel.
• Re-tension the fasteners after the first few heat cycles.
• Keep your factory parts. A typical install does not permanently alter the mounting points, so the original strut can go back on later.

This is a compact folding holder intended for show car use. It is not a heavy-duty replacement for a proper bonnet support. Always support the bonnet independently if you are removing heavy components, working underneath it for any length of time, or working in high winds.

Installation should be done by a competent person. Fitment and compliance are the buyer's responsibility.

Q: Does it fit all N70 and KUN26 year models, 2005 to 2015?

A: Yes, it is designed for the N70 / KUN26 platform. Minor adjustments may be needed on vehicles with aftermarket bonnets or accessories.

Q: Will it work with the factory airbox fitted?

A: No. It will not work properly with the airbox installed. That one is not negotiable.

Q: Is it stronger than the factory prop or gas strut?

A: No. It is a compact folding holder intended for show car use. Support the bonnet safely if you are pulling heavy components or working in high winds.

Q: Will it clear front-mount intercooler piping and a larger turbo?

A: That is the point of it. The folding design reduces clutter around the areas people upgrade. Verify against your own piping and turbo layout during the install.

Q: Do I need extra brackets or hardware?

A: Most installs reuse the OE hardware. If the vehicle has been modified, you may need spacers or alternative fasteners to suit your setup.

Q: Can I put the factory strut back later?

A: Yes, provided you keep the original parts. A typical install does not permanently alter the mounting points. Keep it in a box, not in the bin.
