I say install it simply because it's cool to watch go down. I gotta stop playing with my tailgate
Be careful that could send you blind!

Last weekend, I decided to climb into the bed using my usual method of grasping the side rail and stepping up onto the rear tire. After shuffling some stuff around, I decided to exit the bed via the tailgate, which was in the fully-upright and latched position. I reached down and unlatched the tailgate. Not wanting it to slam open on the cables (which probably would have survived the impact) I proceeded to lower it gently into the open position. Everything was going well, until a white-hot lightning bolt of pain hit my surgery-needing arthritic shoulder.

So today, I turned-in my Man Card and installed the damper.

Actually, you FINALLY Smartened up! I put my Damper on when they first came out in March 2019!

Guys, at 54 I decided I need Tailgate Damper. I know, a Man-bunn is next right? Is the Dee Zee DZ43206 the way to go?

Is a man-bunn is like a man-purse? I thought that was pre-requisite to a TGD ;)

Must be the humidity down in FL. The cold, dry air here in ID lets us get into our 60's without the damper.

It's because it's so cold there your brain is frozen. ? You just haven't realized you need one yet.?

Actually, this is your new look after install.

This fellow just got his TGD installed and the testosterone emissions have not gone unnoticed by all these ladies.
