Default Gas Hood Props on a 1999 XJ

Here is the first mod on our XJ. I am not putting this as the first thing in the build thread so here goes.

Scored some gas prop studs off of two different early 90's s-10 blazers and a pair of props from a super duty.

We will see how it holds up.

99 XJ without a prop rod

ignore this album for now, unless you want to guess what will happen with a small PS pump, a York and an auto tensioner...

I actually used the gas cylinder from the rear hatch after it would not hold up in the cold. It works perfect since the engine heat makes it work. I only had to use one cylinder but I kept te prop rod there in case it was not working or breaks. It was a free upgrade and works perfect and is the BEST upgrade I have done. Although this one looks cleaner and more factory.
