    I went down to Vista yesterday, and had a Cab Mount Chop done by @Speed Freek

    Very happy with it, he did a great job. Highly recommend him

    After my girlfriend opened up my tailgate and let it drop without easing it down slowly I purchased this. My heart dropped when I listened to that tailgate drop. This was a pretty simple install with slight modification.

    Tailgate damper.

    Thanks! Check it out here: http://puretacoma.com/exterior-c-377/ezdown-tailgate-opening-for-tacoma-20052014-p-4730.html

    The reason I mention slight modification is because one of the bolts on the tailgate must be removed so a bracket can go over it. Then the bolt is supposed to get put back on. Here's the problem though. On my truck that bolt was tack welded from the factory. I had to drill out that bolt and replace with a new one.

    I have the same.
    But I had to remove the cable; there's no place for both.
    Sure, you can force, but after a while, the bed wall begins to give way....

    I've heard of these things kinking the cable and rubbing the plastic off of the cable. How's your experience with it so far?

    Yep, I did that a few weeks ago. Jason gave it a few extra slams just for fun though.

    It's certainly a tight fit. How has your experience been with removing that cable?
