Agreed. But I won't have to tell anyone to "look out below" as I lower it.

The tailgate assist is a life changer. I don't know how many times I've slammed someone's tailgate down expecting it to glide down.

If you think the weight of the fourth gen tailgate is bad, the tailgate on my 04 I had was like a elephant compared to this one

Obviously that isn't for everyone, but you can get any pattern/color of your dreams.



Where can you buy vinyl wrap materials at?

Just do a quick Google search like I did. This below wasn't too hard to find. Looks like the center pin is the reverse light circuit.

Used to, they'd put a wiring diagram on the cover of the pigtail outlet. Not sure if they still do, tho.

In the trailer hitch there is a large 1+ in hole near the back mounting points i used a large washer (in my case i cut up a licence plate) to keep the bolt head from going though the hole and then bolted on a L braket on each side. The lights were then bolted to the L bracket.

Great thinking, I like it! Would you be able to get a closer picture? I would like to see how the L bracket works with this.
