Support group for those without a tailgate damper

[canyonslicker]

I got mine as a novelty when I first joined the forum just to fit in. Didn’t think I needed it or even wanted it. Now I really like it. Can I live without it? Sure but I’m keeping it.

I would get one for my wife’s Maverick but I would have to remove a tailgate tie down. Maybe someone like Dave could supply a modified tie down that works with it and then I’d buy it for the Maverick.

Damper are for wimps. Real men dent their tailgates with pride.

The lmore I think about it the more I realize a damper wouldn't have helped. as the tailgate was clear of the hitch until I stepped into the bed of the truck.

You ever tried chasing teenagers with a handsaw though ? It just doesn't evoke the same reaction

I'm going to take mine off from time to time. Just to keep my man card current........

Doesn't the 6G Ranger have a damped tailgate from the factory?

How will a thread like this ever be possible on that forum?

Too many trucks are coming with them as standard now. It's becoming too commonplace.

To make mine stand out, I'm going to attach a slide whistle to the damper so that every time I open my tailgate, everyone in the vicinity will hear it and swivel their necks to see the awesome in progress.

You can't I added a special locking T50 bit to all new dampers. ? Carry your revoked mansard proudly as it's about the only thing you'll be able to pick up once the atrophy set in.
