I can easily see a HUGE marketing opportunity for upgrades on older and vintage Toyotas. They literally run FOREVER!

After 25 years as the original owner and keeping things OEM, I did this UPGRADE...... THANK YOU for sharing!! No more banging my head or working around the hood support in the front!! I sent finished pics to the 3rd gen guys I chat with on IG- it is an eye opener for sure!!

Oh that is SO AWESOME!!!

Hey Faye, thanks for featuring our products on your awesome channel! You did a great job showing the installation process, and your attention to detail is top notch (including the critical Step 26!). And who knew that installing hood struts can replace the gym, a true win-win (they do make air and cordless-powered rivet guns, but what fun is that?). You are an inspiration to all aspiring mechanics (female or otherwise), so please keep up the good work. As a small business, we really appreciate having folks like you showcase our products, which are 100% USA made to support our local economies.

Faye..you rock! You're a natural at these videos. I too have a '98 4Runner. Hope you're still at it.😊

Just coming across this channel my son inherited a cherry 2000 4runner from his grandfather good mods and helpful content Mahalo from Hawaii🤙🏽🌺

“ Confirmed” Faye is simply riveting....!🐔🐔🐔👍

Absolutely!! I plan on it! Thanks for the feedback 👍🏻

Yay Faye! This video was riveting (sorry I had to). So the concave washer acts as a tensioner, maybe? Love that depth stopper idea. I measure between 1” and 2” on the tape measure also because of that little thingamajig on the end. As a kid, I LOVED to use the rivet gun. The anticipation on waiting for that pop. Almost as much fun as waiting for the click on the torque wrench. Happy, fun video. Your joy bring us joy.

I like how the company reminded you too do the most texan thing, have a nice cold one after such an accomplishment

Good job Faye ! you are truly a gentle spirt , which the world is better off with you in it .

Such a pleasant disposition. Great vid. The riveting tool is a hassle no matter who you are. Loved the celebration afterwards. Then the birds at the end to give a calming vibe (ASMR?) to the finish. Looking forward to more Supra content.

You have inspired me to do this to my 4runner and I'm quite pleased with the results

Best d.i.y. mechanic on the internet!

I want struts on my 98 now! Glad I found this

Adjustable ski/hiking poles work great for propping the hood AND the rear lift gate 😉!

Thats awesome. I think I'ma get this for my dads Tacoma, except maybe after I'm done riveting , i'll put a tac weld on the front and back of those mounts for added strength so it doesn't Warp under age and pressure.

This video was Great!!! I about died when you said "3 more rivets and I can skip the gym today" HAHA anyone who has used a rivet gun knows how brutal they are on the hands. Awesome video, keep up the good work!

Awesome job Faye! I've done this same job on over a dozen cars over the years so I know the pain the rivet gun is! After the 2nd or 3rd I bought an air rivet gun from harbor freight and never looked back. It will save your hands in the long run especially when you have to do a hundred on a car! Ask me how I know! I love the moment of calm at the end with the chickens. Too cute! The supra is looking good of what I could see! Lol

You could put one of those plastic bug guards on your hood and it would cover those paint dings. I have one on my '99 just because I think it looks better.

Always fun videos, you are such an awesome young lady and I always look forward to seeing your videos. Keep teaching ladies, the industry can really use some fresh perspective and talent.

Adjusting or installing certain things a level (that thing with the bubbles, we call it 'a level' = 'un nivel') it's always a good friend to have and have close; i'd f*cked it up several times because "it looked just fine..!" and it wasn't.
