I have the 6815's, and they're awesome, I also got them for under $50. I believe someone researched the situation and posted here that Lift Supports Depot (who was selling them on Amazon for <$50) is currently out of stock, which is why the price is so high. But they expect to get a huge shipment soon, and the price will supposedly drop back to normal levels.

Yeah, the video was released just today. The lower end strongmans will probably work fine for me, definitely need new bushings, which they used the nylon spacer & washer method from the forum. Not an urgent repair, but watching his rear hatch just raise up gave me some envy.

Bought the Strongarm 4286 @ rockauto and used the nylon bushings and washers posted from lowes.
6 months ago holding up like new, have had cold snaps in double digits they worked fine.

I recently installed the Strongarm 4286's and they have been perfectly fine. They push the hatch up all the way but pretty gently. Have not tested in super cold weather and we'll see how they hold up long term.
StrutWise is great and the owner is easy to work with. He did a pair of struts for me a couple of years ago and they came back super powerful -- honestly too strong for my liking. Might want to ask him to build you a "mild" set of struts.

I have been needing this repair for sometime, however was able to revitalize my stock struts using a little white lithium grease, must have just improved the seal, and it will remain up unassisted in warm weather now, as long as the window is up.. Either way interested in the better strongman struts, or an equivalent.
Yet another helpful video from the TimmyTheToolman Team!

Lift Cylinder 68908-35020 1 $45.18
Lift Cylinder 68907-35020 1 $45.18
FYI, just got a pair from Toyota for my 2002. They are $90 plus shipping for the pair from McGeorge.
They called me telling they were delayed due to having to get the from Japan as the US was completely out.

Cool, I hadn't realized the OEM ones were this cheap. I had in my head that they were $100+ each. Looks like you got the "cold spec" ones whereas the -35010 options are not.

Now they make a little noise regularly
