In a hot place, it comes down to a personal trade-off. Some owners prefer to protect their hood paint, while others prioritize keeping under-hood temps cool.
Hey everyone,
Many new-gen Tacomas and 4Runners don't come with a factory hood insulation mat, which is a shame. A powerful engine brings equally powerful noise. Plus, intense engine bay heat can overheat the metal hood, eventually causing your exterior paint to fade.
To protect your paint and...
Those generic lights are definitely a great bang for the buck! But yeah, without a dedicated fitment, they do tend to rattle. Going with a custom-fit option just ensures everything fits perfectly.
Appreciate the feedback! It runs on 3 AA batteries and is not rechargeable itself. Sorry for the oversight. We’re adding this info to the description now. Thanks!
Hey everyone, Bob from powoq here.
Flashlights are what you never seem to have when you actually need them—they’re usually left at home, or buried at the bottom of a cluttered glove box. If you want to keep an emergency light handy, we brought in the Driver-Side Dash LED Lantern to fill that...
We’ve received some questions about the difference between a dog barrier and a pet net.
The main advantage of a solid barrier is strength. It’s a better choice for larger dogs because it helps keep them safely in the cargo area and prevents them from moving into the front seats while driving...
Do you struggle with items sliding off your dashboard, or finding a good spot to mount your devices?
While the flat dash is convenient for tossing keys or sunglasses, it comes with a catch. They easily slide around and can leave permanent scratches on the surface. Plus, trying to mount multiple...
We’ve had a few requests to develop a rear window pet barrier for the 2025+ 4Runner.
We love the idea, but we wanted to get your take on it before we dive into the design. Would you guys find it more useful if we designed it as a hybrid? Essentially, a pet barrier that doubles as a MOLLE panel...
I’ve seen discussions about this as well. As far as I know, hardly anyone actually runs into issues with the struts causing the hood to flex. The mounting brackets bolt on top of the hinge, not the hood skin. Provided the strut strength is matched correctly, it shouldn’t be a concern.
What’s the biggest enemy of your 4Runner's cargo area? Is it an energetic dog, or gear sliding around during a drive?
Either way, that inner tailgate trim takes the brunt of the impact. If you’ve just picked up a new rig, seeing those first few scuffs on the trim is a real bummer.
So, we’ve...
Thank you for the detailed feedback. This is exactly the kind of real-world input that helps us improve. We’ll review the Trailhunter/hybrid installation details and update our instructions with clearer left/right markings and additional guidance.
We’re also looking for experienced 4Runner...
Hey everyone,
I'm curious: do you bring your pets along on your road trips?
While it’s always fun to have them around, sometimes our dogs (and occasionally other furry friends) can get a bit restless. If they try to jump to the front seats, it can be quite a distraction when you're driving...
We’ve always found that using a manual prop rod every time we open the hood is a total hassle, especially when our hands are full.
That’s why we developed these hood struts.
Just unlock and lift slightly, and the hood rises smoothly and effortlessly. They use the factory holes for easy...
