Installation Notes
Most owners fit a Nitro Struts conversion kit in 30–45 minutes with basic hand tools. The kit is fully bolt-on — no drilling, no modifications. Park on level ground, follow the included instructions step-by-step, and have a second person support the panel during bracket installation if you can. The factory prop rod can be left in place as a backup or removed entirely once the kit is in.
Why Fit This Kit
- You're sick of fighting with the factory prop rod every service
- The prop rod has slipped and dropped the bonnet on you (or your tools)
- You want clear, hands-free access for engine bay work
- You're upgrading the look and feel of your engine bay

Excellent service and arrived early
The good kind of Gas, the kind you want
Quick delivery, easy to fit.
I managed to install them myself, one person, by using some small ‘f’ clamps to stabilise the bonnet while the brackets were being fitted.
A bit of ingenuity!
In 5 minutes I had installed the best addition to my Navara ever! I cannot believe how fast, simple and satisfying it was to attach these beautiful struts to my bonnet, which has relieved so much stress as I have antenna and lights blocking easy access to my bonnet and support rod. Now, I lift the bonnet like a normal person, and I cannot stop smiling. I am so happy.
Excellent product, fast delivery time.
