that got me to thinking about doing the toilet seat but then I got to thinking about that emergency release of super taco Tuesday and the tooo long wait for the seat to get down...:whew:
That's why you always keep one bath seat up. Trust me on this because when seconds count that seat feels like an eternity to close. :ontheloo:

In regards to tail gate weight handling, does this reduce it's capacity? Seem to remember it stating it's only rated at 500' on the tail gate.
But it does decrease payload capacity..

screw your dampers, i'm going with the torsion bar
Hopkins easy lift for the win.
I have one of these on my old F-150. That actually does have a heavy tailgate. Really makes it nice.

But the gravity damping of it should be causing a break even so you could stack vertically to achieve same capacity. Imagine if you used the throwaway fx4 shock as the damper...truck would probably warp time then:(

I can pretty much open my own aluminum tailgate, with one hand even. LOL.

Our toilet seats are dampened because our son had an "unfortunate accident" with a slammed seat while potty training ha. I felt so bad for him I ran out and bought new seats ha. Yes, my tailgate is also dampened haha. Not a necessary feature, but I love it (and I'm not ashamed to admit it).
