Another one bites the dust! lol

I don't have one because of the weight (it's light) it's for the convenience when I'm working and my hands are full. I can walk up and grab it with one finger and let it slooowly fall without dropping everything in my hands. ?

In case you missed it before here's a link for one and use code WELCOME at checkout for free shipping .

@AzScorpion why does the link say this doesn’t fit? It points me to a $95 thing Looks about the size of the key fob. I think the website has a glitch. There are a dozen reviews at your link proclaiming the excellence of the tail gate damper and how life is sweeter once it’s installed. So, your link must be the right part....correct?

Pretty sure that space was meant to keep your damper while your truck gets accustomed to it.

@KJRR, KJ, I was hoping helpful tips like this would be in your instructions for "Getting your Ranger ready for the damper." I've worried myself half crazy thinking about the mental anguish I could cause my Ranger by missing one step. My therapist says not to worry, but he's never been in the quandary I find myself. It's to the point now that I have to keep my Zanax in my "murse" all of the time.

What the hell is that thing!?

Joel, Yes it's a mistake. If you look at the part number it's the same as mine.

I’ve never seen this mentioned and I’ve wondered about it for a while lol
Is this supposed to be a cup holder? The angles are ridiculous.

When I do have cups that need holding, usually hot coffee or iced tea, they go in the center divider's "cup-holding" spots, which are decently sized and get a secure grip on anything you put in there. I usually leave the driver's side "cup holders" empty to keep the way clear when getting in or out; or I sometimes slip something unobtrusive in there such as a collapsible umbrella, depending on the weather. On the passenger's side, the wife does manage to stuff some tiny water bottles and assorted snacks into hers. So, they are not entirely useless so long as you don't ask them to hold any cups....

Hijack a guys thread about the door cupholder?
Perhaps this tailgate damper stuff is getting just a bit out of hand?
Just sayin.

@AzScorpion thanks for the assist. I was able to fulfill a life long ambition of ordering my own damper today. Now for all the performance boosts it brings with it. ?

Anytime Joel! Now make sure you buckle up good after installing it with the added HP. ?

Works fine for me.

i use the portion of the door panel right in front of the intended cup holder for all of my drink bottles and cups and no issues yet. 24 oz tumbler fits in there just fine

It is. As long as what you’re drinking out of has a lid, it actually works quite well. Family and I just took a short road trip last weekend (~400 mi each way) and my wife and I each had a second water bottle in there on top of the bottles we had in the center area. We had a toddler and a dog in the back seat so the door space made for good storage to carry extra fluids for us all. Even with a bottle in there, there’s still space for other miscellaneous stuff too.

That Kirkland Malbec is actually pretty solid. I’m a fan of all their booze options. Solid products especially for the price. Their añejo tequila is a sneaky good buy.
