ARB SportLid Upgrade Strut Kit for Hilux Tonneau Covers
The ARB SportLid Tonneau Cover Upgrade Strut Kit is an optional gas strut upgrade for Toyota Hilux Double Cab SportLid tonneau cover setups. It is for drivers who carry occasional accessories or run a constant roof load and want the SportLid to retain stronger opening and holding support under load.
Added weight on a tonneau cover can reduce the standard gas struts' ability to lift and hold the lid open. This ARB upgrade kit is designed to maintain opening and holding force with up to 25 kg roof load, making it a practical add-on for touring, worksite and everyday 4x4 load space use.
Who This ARB SportLid Strut Upgrade Is For
- Hilux owners with an ARB SportLid tonneau cover who add roof load or occasional accessories.
- Drivers who want the correct upgrade kit rather than a full replacement tonneau cover.
- Touring and utility users who need the lid opening behaviour to remain more usable when the cover is loaded.
- Buyers checking the exact ARB part number: 8TSLSP176202.
Compatibility Notes Before Ordering
This upgrade strut kit is matched to Toyota Hilux Mk8 2016-2020 Double Cab and Toyota Hilux Mk9 2020-2025 Double Cab SportLid tonneau cover applications. It is an upgrade gas strut kit for the SportLid cover, not a complete canopy, full bed cover or universal tonneau system.
Before ordering, check your vehicle generation, Double Cab body style and existing ARB SportLid setup against part number 8TSLSP176202.
