Glad you found a solution.
Kinda scary when you can't get the hood open, ain't it!

My hood wasn't popping up, the bumpers were dead. I just put some o-rings under the worn bumpers, works now for two years.

Mike, my bumpers were screwed as well, but for 18 bucks you can get two new ones. They are exactly the same as those fitted to a 100 series Landcruiser HZJ105R, I just picked up 2 new ones this morning and they wound in perfectly.

ROFL - Is that why your hood isn't latched in the pix you posted the other day ... afraid to close it???
I was actually considering an emergency release cable positioned so that I could reach it from somewhere under the front end ... but then I decided t'wasn't necessary since my problem was in the cab & not under the hood.

HAHA yeah very perceptive of you, that's exactly the reason it wasn't latched. I should have waited until i got the spare latch on before i put it all back together. then it wouldn't have mattered.ROFL - Is that why your hood isn't latched in the pix you posted the other day ... afraid to close it???

The emergency release catch is already on mine, it's a piece of wire rolled up out of sight that's attached to the spring release
