You asked for it, and now I'm giving you a write up.... But first, a little history........

As most of you know, the KJ came stock with hood struts. Starting in 2007 with the Dodge Nitro, the standard hood struts were removed probably due to cost cutting. However, the KA Nitro in 2007 came with the ball studs already welded to the uni-body since the KJ, KA, and KK share the same basic platform.

Over an another forum that is dedicated to the KA, a few select members got together and came up with a mounting system for the hood side of the mod since the 2007 KA's came stock with them. Now, the new mounting system was great for the 07's, but the 08's and 09's were left with out a way to connect the strut to the uni-body with out welding. Once again, the great minds got together and found this cool little adapter :twisted: ......


TO BE CONTINUED........... :twisted:
