G'day Mark and greetings from Tasmania Australia, Great job not easy fitting a new tailgate especially to an older Ute . Pretty good price for a new tailgate good one regards John
we lined our pickups with plywood so they would take the knocks and bangs from stuff rolling around in there,the correct panels were more expensive and far less impact resistant ,as usual a well explained vlog of which will inspire many of your subscribers giving them bucket loads of confidence.
Good stuff! I installed a new aftermarket tailgate on a Ramcharger years ago. It rusted in less than 1 year...over the winter really. Do with what you have. Good ingenuity! It really makes the pickup look much better! 🤩
It doesnt take long to have a small fortune in the bits and pieces. im sure i would have lost lots of cargo from my truck bed if i didnt have a tailgate.
yeah no idea why i waited 20+ years to finally put a tailgate on that truck...lol i suppose back when it was taken off i didn't have the money to replace it and then its been off the road for a while till some what recently.
Those bits and pieces add up! I’ve never had that good of luck with those repop parts. They seem to rust quickly. I’ve learned the hard way, I guess. His project turned out pretty well.
Makes a much better parts chaser with the tailgate on it. It might not be as fast as the jag, but it sure is a lot easier to get the greasy diff cores in the bed rather than out of the back seat!
iv also got a f350 and a chevy 2500 with a service body on it. but i still find it nice to use this one if your just making a quick run into town for some smaller parts or something.
@@Ezrider359 i just use a brass rod 1/4 to make a rod for my ford tailgate seen you do this make me fill good what you used to do before in the passed can't buy it make it couldn't find it we made it what i like about your videos make me and others think out side the box raptor line the truck top to bottom seen one to day Hunter green raptor line looked bad ass check it out on the RU-vid

Hey there, I appreciate the video on what y'all call a tacoma. We call them a Hilux here in Australia! Great reliable vehicles. ( I own a 1999 model) so when can we see some more on old Red?? Can't wait to see it again. Cheers from Sydney Australia. 👍🇦🇺🦘🐨🇦🇺
At the time this truck was made here they were just called a Toyota pickup. Tacoma name didn't come till later models I want to get back to old red soon
Hi, I got a question, I bought a tailgate for my tacoma 04 but I’m trying to find the other stuff ( hardware and the other things you installed in the tailgate) and I can’t find them! Can you tell me please where did you bought them?
