I Was ONE Bump Away From This… Subaru Forester Hood Strut Install

I was literally one bump away from the hood falling on my face. A viewer noticed and sent me a set of Overtake USA hood struts for my 2004 Subaru Forester, so we're fixing it properly. In this video I walk you through the full hood strut install on a 2004 Subaru Forester, step by step, so you can do it yourself in under an hour. No more prop rods. No more anxiety every time you pop the hood. Big thanks to John who sent these in! — CHAPTERS — 0:00 One bump away from disaster 0:30 Why you need hood struts 1:52 What you'll need for the install 2:17 Installing the hood struts 3:51 Classic Subaru... 5:18 First open — does it work? The Forester: Built over a few years the 2004 Subaru Forester XS was built to test the limits of what is capable in an early 2000's Subaru with bolt-ons. Created for overlanding adventures it takes on the hardest offroad trails while having everything for camping. The Forester features: custom interior, rooftop tent, ARB rack with custom mounts, high clearance bumper, winch, Hella lights, transmission cooler, sway bar delete, offroad coilovers, AT tires, Beadlock wheels, overland kitchen and engine and trans skid plates. And to many people's surprise often keeping up with full-size 4x4s. Looking for parts?
