Pimp my 4x4 LoL
I've not fitted them to the colorado, but have fitted them to a car in the past, the set I bought came with pretty good instructions, was pretty much a case of finding two good parts of the bonnet and inner wing to drill, I guess a kit specific to the vehicle may inlude a purpose made bracket either end... |

The '100-Series' (Amazon) has gas struts instead of a bonnet prop (just visible here):
You may be able to get some Toyota parts for the conversion (but an after-market kit will undoubtedly be cheaper!).
