Highly possible that my “girly” arms are stronger than yours by your “girly” comment.

idon't have a damper, so, i don't have girly arms to compare, sorry.

We need to attach a solenoid to the latch handle. Throw a switch on the dash to release the handle.
Slowly get out of the truck, walk to the back and your tailgate is down and ready to go to work.

Now, THAT's a good idea!

The damper is awesome. That and the tonneau cover that let's me close the back gate without lifting the back panel of the cover.

By the way, I have a damper on my tailgate and a toilet seat....

A toilet seat on your tailgate? Install vid to follow?

Yeah, that is the reason I put one on my last truck. An F150 tailgate would have done a number on the head of a toddler.

Good sense does prevail. ...notice that I said “good” sense as opposed to “common” sense, as common sense these days is not necessarily good by any stretch.

My damper arrived early and I promptly installed it. I just wanted to post the TRUTH since I actuality have one and have used it 3 or 4 times now. The haters were right, its stupid and unnecessary to make opening the tailgate a little easier. I have since removed it, the power locks, power windows and disabled the auto headlights and high beams in Forscan. I'm going full tough guy from now on

In all seriousness it was an easy install and it works great

Yeah, I was thinking of going a step further on the full tough guy approach... removing the tires. Who needs them? Just the wheels. They are metal and will probably last longer than the tires anyway. Plus, I can spin the wheels much easier and do donuts on dry pavement. The whole tire thing is just a conspiracy of the Rubber Tree Growers Association! Next I am going to swap out the fuel pump and fuel injectors so I can run oil straight out of the ground. No refining for me. Processed food is bad for the body so less processing of crude must be better for my motor.

This will go along well with your little girly arms! The softness will give you a girly but!

Might as well disable the power steering, power brakes, and swap in a manual trans. That should flex masculinity even more. ? ??

Waiting for the first one...

Why waste time doing Girlyman stuff? Go right here, right now and use them till your nails are all ingrown and then dump the flippers and go like iron Mike man.
