i have something kind of the same on my wildtrak but mine is an easy up and an easy down by grunt4x4, the left hand side assists when lifting and the right hand assists in down. what i have noticed a lot of the other kits on the market dont include little pieces of rubber strip you fit to the sides of the gate so that the wire cords stay in place and dont end up getting jammed inside the tailgate every time you close it.
Hi have question. I have a drop down loft hatch at home. I need longer struts. I see them on ebay will they work. Reason i ask is because i see cabinet struts for kitchen but they open upwards and support/hold door. Do all struts work the same as yours? Can you recommend where to find?
My bolts were not painted over so came out easily. Maybe cut or grind away the paint would help (but it must be done before the bolt gets rounded). Worth a try before calling in the cavalry.
On the Morza site 3 reviews said that they were crap. As you fitted them in 2019, have you had any problems with them. not working, rusty etc. By the way very good video. Thomas
Hi Thomas, no, they are working great. Had a single one from another manufacturer first for a year and replaced it with these two for strength and support
Thank you for your good video and for all Your determination it is admired only it has also changed my mind not going through all that as do not have compressor and air tools :( . This should have been done in the factory even as part of the trim .package with maybe including a two strut hood instead of the stupid hood prop rod . It is s very nice upgrade when it is all completed .
@@CloughReviews No that is okay I do appreciate you doing this video and this way I am not stuck with not being able to finish the job. Yes you are so correct it should not have been such a difficult job to do
i have the same issue, with the lest hand side bolt not coming out. Have tried a number of things including yours, but nothing will move it. Any ideas? The right hand side went on fine.
You prob (I hope) finished it weeks ago, but I would suggest to others loosening that side first, while someone sits on the lowered tailgate, use an extension bar on your socket wrench & apply gradual torque. As some famous engineer once said "Give me a long enough lever & I will move the earth" so careful you don't flip your truck over lol
There is a brand called Grunt who have tail gate dampers which are a far better fit than the type you used I looked into both types and paying 20% more was a far better option.
@@theanton9633 I paid about $80 Australian for is single grunt damper where as the cheap ones you used were around $120 ish a pair. These were from ebay
Terrible bit of engineering! I bought some rounded bolt removers but didn't need to use them in the end. Watch the video and see what I did with an angle grinder. If you don't want to do the same, take it to a garage and they can loosen it for you for a few dollars in their back pocket
I love WD for most things, but the bolt is put in at the assembly stage and then the vehicle is sprayed so the bolt is covered and no WD or anything else can get in. That what makes getting it off so difficult I think/
GUESS HE NEVER HEARD OF VICE GRIPS,LOL,MINE WAS HARD AND IMJUST PUTMON MY GICE GRIPS AND OFF IT POPED,JUSTMHAD TOMBREAK THE LOCK TIGHT THEYMPUTMON THESE SCREWS,U.S. CUSTOME,LOCK,TIGHT ALL SOMTHEY DONT FALL OUT,LOL
