About this part
Hood Struts, fitment-checked
Gas-charged hood struts built specifically for the 1997-2006 Jeep Wrangler TJ and LJ, including SE, X, Sport, Sahara, Rubicon, and the 65th Anniversary Edition. No cutting and no bracket fabrication — the only modification is enlarging a few existing holes. The struts hold the hood open hands-free for fluid checks and engine work, and RC-logo brackets keep the underhood view tidy.
This set is engineered around the Jeep TJ and LJ platform, covering 1997-2006 Wrangler models in 4WD from SE and X through Sahara, Rubicon, Unlimited, and the 65th Anniversary Edition. Placement matters on this one: the hood-assist bracket goes above the third hole up from the bottom of the center hood bracket. Beyond enlarging a few factory holes there is no cutting or fabrication, and Rough Country lists the whole job at 10 minutes. Once installed, the gas-charged struts hold the hood open by themselves, which makes fluid checks and quick inspections a one-person task. A downloadable installation guide is available.
