Are Tailgate Dampeners Frowned On Around Here?

[JohnUSA]

I identified with a woman long enough to install it and then I went back to normal again

And that's how you getter done.

You should've kept going with the copy/paste...

noun
noun: dampener; plural noun: dampeners

1. a thing that has a restraining or subduing effect.
   "television and booze, those twin dampeners of the revolutionary spirit"

Phrases
put a dampener on — have a depressing, subduing, or inhibiting effect on.
"the comments put a dampener on such an amazing trip"



Not the same thing at all when put into context.

No different than damper:
noun

1. a person or thing that has a depressing, subduing, or inhibiting effect.
   "another damper on reactor development was the problem of safeguards"

Pretty much the same damn thing. And the context with damper is actually a little weak.

I put one on my truck and really like it. I open the tailgate, grab my stuff to put in truck, and by the time I turn back around, it is down.

Saw the original thread about the damper and thought, "Why the hell would I need that?" Dropped the tailgate twice in a one week period and said, "Oh, that's why." Decided what the hell and used my Ford points so it only cost me $45K. But I do like it.

Just scrolling through some random posts and I seem to be picking up some disdain for tailgate dampeners. Is that my imagination or are they frowned on?

Personally, I wish I had them just because of experiences at work. I had both an unmarked Ford Ranger and an unmarked Ford F-150 for work. I loved them, but my lieutenant would crack open my tailgate all the time so that it would fall when I drove away. I hated that!!!!

First of all Glock gen3 23 is about my fave firearm of all time. Its like it was made just for me...
I dont mind a dampener that actually works, I've seen too many bad ones and the gate on my Ranger is amazingly light compared to my '09 ram. So i personally have no need for it...

wait, did you just buy a truck to put on a damper/dampener?

 

[lawrench]

I have one, I waited until Ford offered it on Accessories.Ford.Com. I wanted it because the wife kept dropping the tailgate.

If you want one, do not worry about what anyone else thinks, it is you that has to use it or not use it.
