2021+ Bronco MRT No Drill Hood Struts

2021+ Ford Bronco MRT No-Drill Hood Struts

The Original No-Drill Hood Strut Kit for the Sixth-Generation Ford Bronco, Functional, Clean, and Built for Adventure

The factory hood prop rod on the 2021+ Ford Bronco is a nuisance. It blocks your view of the engine bay, requires two hands to operate, and does nothing for the Bronco's rugged, capable image. The MRT No-Drill Hood Strut Kit is the original aftermarket solution, replacing the factory prop rod with gas cylinder struts that lift the hood automatically, clear the engine bay for easy access, and dress up the underhood appearance in a way that matches the Bronco's go-anywhere character.

No drilling. No permanent modifications. No special tools. Installation takes approximately 30 minutes using the factory attachment points that are already on your Bronco, and the result is a cleaner, more functional hood operation that Bronco owners describe as an instant quality-of-life upgrade. Available in three bracket finishes, including custom vehicle paint color matching, this is the hood strut kit engineered and designed by the company that invented the aftermarket no-drill hood strut.

MRT loves the Ford Bronco G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of terrain) design and believes the MRT No-Drill Hood Strut Kit is just what you need to make all your Bronco adventures more enjoyable. This Bronco accessory is simple: it adds an underhood dress-up to your SUV with a design that is functional and has a purpose. From dabbling on the engine to emergency repairs in the middle of the wilderness, a Ford Bronco Hood Strut Kit lets you get done what you need and do it in style. The heavy-duty rugged design is manufactured with craftsmanship and quality in mind.

We developed the original aftermarket hood support for the Mustang and are proud to now offer them for the sixth-generation Ford Bronco. MRT hood struts replace factory prop rods with brackets and gas cylinder struts to lift the hood and give you a clear view into the Bronco engine bay - and you don't have to manually prop the hood open. Consistent with all MRT No-Drill Hood Struts, this kit is designed to maintain hood alignment by using the factory attachment points for strength and safety!

Customized Bronco Hood Struts

MRT hood strut brackets are made of high-quality steel for the utmost durability. They come standard with a black powder coat finish that resists chipping, scratching and corrosion. Custom bracket colors are available for an additional fee. One option is a sleek Carbon Fiber Effect look. The other is to send us the vehicle's factory paint code that we'll match. Please contact MRT at 734-455-5807 for more information.

Unlike other hood lift kits in the aftermarket, MRT hood struts require no drilling for installation, meaning no holes drilled anywhere. They can easily be installed in 30 minutes or less from start to finish. Although the gas cylinders are designed for the OE factory hood, you can still get Ford Bronco hood lift kits if you have an aftermarket or special edition hood (such as the 2022 Everglades trim). Just call us and supply the hood's weight - we'll adjust the cylinder pressure accordingly.

Support for Your Supports

All MRT design and production is still done in the U.S. at our Plymouth, Michigan facility. We provide installation instructions, videos, full-service phone support and everything else you need to Get Noticed. If the gas cylinders have worn out on your current struts, you can order replacement cylinders directly from us.

Application: Most 2021+ Ford Bronco OE factory hoods

Doesn't Fit: Everglades Edition/Snorkel-equipped Broncos; some aftermarket hoods (call for proper cylinder sizing - you provide the hood's weight)

Why Choose the MRT Bronco No-Drill Hood Strut Kit?

The Original, MRT Invented the No-Drill Hood Strut

MRT developed the original aftermarket no-drill hood strut for the Ford Mustang, and that same engineering philosophy carries directly into the Bronco kit. Every design decision is made around one principle: maximum functionality and clean appearance with zero permanent modification to your vehicle. No holes drilled in the hood, no holes drilled in the fenders, no damage to the factory finish, just the existing OE attachment points reused with precision-fit brackets and properly pressurized gas cylinders.

When other hood strut kits for the Bronco use awkward lollipop hardware and difficult installation geometry, MRT's bracket design installs cleanly in minutes and stays out of the way of underhood accessories and air compressor mounts. This is not a generic kit adapted from another application; it's engineered specifically for the sixth-generation Bronco's hood geometry and factory attachment locations.

Ditch the Prop Rod, Permanently

The factory prop rod is a single-point support that requires you to prop it manually every time you open the hood. With MRT hood struts, the hood opens fully and stays open automatically, both hands free, with a completely clear view of the engine bay, and no obstruction when you're working under the hood in the garage, on the trail, or roadside.

For Bronco owners who spend time under the hood frequently, whether for modifications, maintenance, or emergency trail repairs, the practical improvement is immediate and substantial.

Three Bracket Finish Options, Match Your Build

MRT hood strut brackets are made from high-quality steel with a standard black powder coat finish that resists chipping, scratching, and corrosion. For owners who want to take the look further, two custom finish options are available for an additional fee. The Carbon Fiber Effect delivers a sleek, modern aesthetic that pairs well with blacked-out and performance-oriented Bronco builds. The Vehicle Paint Color Match option uses your Bronco's two-digit factory paint code, found on the driver's side doorjamb, to paint the brackets to closely match your exterior color for a fully integrated, factory-appearance upgrade.

Note: MRT uses the factory paint code and formula for custom color matches, but an exact match cannot be guaranteed due to vehicle age and sun exposure.

Replacement Cylinders Available, Long-Term Support

MRT supports its hood strut products for the long term. If the gas cylinders lose pressure over time, replacement cylinders are available directly from MRT. That means your investment in the bracket hardware is protected; you never need to replace the entire kit, just the cylinders when the time comes.

Engineered, Designed, and Built to Last

Every MRT hood strut kit is designed and manufactured in-house at MRT's Plymouth, Michigan, facility. Full-service phone support, installation instructions, and installation videos are all available, and MRT's team is reachable by phone at 734-455-5807 for any questions about fitment, cylinder sizing for aftermarket hoods, or custom color ordering.

FAQs: 2021+ Bronco Hood Struts

1. Will the MRT No-Drill Hood Struts fit my Ford Bronco?

The MRT No-Drill Hood Strut Kit (Part #80K110) is designed to fit most 2021 and newer Ford Bronco models equipped with the OE factory hood. It does not fit the Bronco Everglades Edition, which is equipped with the factory snorkel that conflicts with the standard strut mounting positions. If your Bronco has an aftermarket hood, call MRT at 734-455-5807 with your hood's weight before ordering. MRT can adjust the gas cylinder pressure to properly support non-factory hood weights.

2. Do I really need to drill holes in my Bronco to install these?

No, that's the defining feature of the MRT design. The No-Drill Hood Strut Kit is engineered to use the existing OE factory attachment points that are already on your Bronco's hood and fender structure. No holes are drilled anywhere on the vehicle. No modifications are made to the factory finish or body panels. The brackets mount to the existing factory hardware locations, providing the same strength and safety as the factory prop rod system while delivering automatic gas-cylinder hood support.

3. What bracket finish options are available, and how do I order a custom color?

Three finish options are available. The standard Black Ops finish is a durable black powder coat that resists chipping, scratching, and corrosion. The Carbon Fiber Effect finish adds a sleek visual detail well-suited to performance and blacked-out Bronco builds. The Vehicle Paint Color Match option has MRT paint the brackets using your Bronco's factory paint code for a closely integrated appearance. To order the paint match option, locate the two-digit paint code on your Bronco's driver's side doorjamb and provide it when ordering or by calling 734-455-5807. Note that an exact color match cannot be guaranteed due to vehicle age and sun exposure variables.

4. How long does installation take, and what tools are needed?

Installation takes approximately 30 minutes using common hand tools; no special tools or equipment required. The kit uses factory attachment points, so no drilling, cutting, or fabrication is involved. All necessary hardware is included with your purchase, along with installation instructions and access to MRT's installation video. MRT also provides full phone support at 734-455-5807 if you have questions during installation.

5. Can I get these hood struts if I have an aftermarket hood on my Bronco?

Yes, in most cases. The standard gas cylinders are calibrated for the OE factory hood weight. If your Bronco has an aftermarket hood, such as the ADV Air Dam Hood or another aftermarket option, call MRT at 734-455-5807 and provide the weight of your specific hood. MRT will adjust the gas cylinder pressure accordingly to ensure the struts lift and hold the hood properly. This custom cylinder sizing service is available for most aftermarket hood applications.

6. What happens if the gas cylinders wear out over time?

Replacement gas cylinders are available directly from MRT; you don't need to replace the entire kit. The steel bracket hardware is designed for long-term durability and doesn't need to be replaced when cylinder pressure diminishes over time. Simply order replacement cylinders from MRT when needed to restore full hood lift performance. This long-term parts support is part of what makes MRT's approach different from generic hood strut kits that offer no replacement component path.

7. Why choose MRT over other Bronco hood strut kits on the market?

MRT invented the aftermarket no-drill hood strut, originally developed for the Ford Mustang and now refined for the sixth-generation Bronco. The MRT kit's bracket geometry is engineered specifically for the Bronco's factory attachment locations, keeping the hardware out of the way of underhood accessories and air compressor mounts where competing designs create conflicts. Custom bracket finishes, including vehicle paint color matching, are available directly from MRT, manufactured in-house at their Plymouth, Michigan, facility. Full phone support, replacement cylinder availability, and our manufacturing quality round out what makes this the definitive hood strut solution for the 2021+ Ford Bronco.
