Jeep JKU Tailgate Check Install 

thanks for the video. You did well. Lotta folks tell their life story . You just got to the point.

I am replacing mine today, so this was a big help. Thank you for sharing.

Great video. Doing my replacement this weekend!

I’m starting to get a weird crack-like noise from my jku ‘11 original tailgate-check when I fully open the gate. So I guess I’ll need to replace it soon. Two questions: 1) why does it break? I’m not even using a larger spare so no extra weight from original 2) what does it happen if the check is no longer there? Does it just prevents the gate to open beyond what’s expected, right? Or it’s there for something else?

Hi, thanks for the video - very helpful. Im curious 11 months later if the replacement tailgate check you purchased is still working? Thanks

Thanks

Does the new hinge come with extra hardware?
