I have had 3 Explorers now and none of the hood struts work. I really dont want to spend the money on new struts, so I asked a friend of mine for a prop rod from an S-10 he parted out. With a single bend, a drilled hole and a bolt I had a perfectly functional prop rod under my hood
This part can be had for $5 or $10 from the junk yard from any S-10 or Blazer from 82 to 92. I'm sure others would work but this was just easy! I am going to drill a hole to the right of the hole where the prop is so that it will be more straight up and open the hood to max height. Also adding a clip to hold it down when I shut the hood.
