3rd gen to 2nd gen conversion

The one on the left is the new design, the one on the right is the first older design.
The newer design spade measures, .295 in, and the old first design is, .465 in,

 

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask, I'm sure I've got an answer.
Thx again my friend

 

The part number in the video was the wrong one, here is the proper part number
66101-04021,

 

Excellent work (and video!)

 

Thank you, it was fun, PM for details

 

Those have to be an aftermarket manufacturer right? Third gen tailgates have a “wing” if you will call it that at the top of the gate..

 

I'm not really sure what ur getting at, and yes the 3rd gen does have somewhat of a wing
Not sure where those came from, I wasn't converting tailgates, I'm putting the 3rd gen tailgate assist on the 2nd gen https://youtu.be/u9_wJWtNLZQ

 

My guess would be custom work where they cut the bottom half off a 3rd gen tailgate and then welded them together and body worked/painted it

 

That's my guess as well

 

That's alot of work with very thin sheet metal

 

For videophobics, could you please explain the difference?

Thanks

 

check out this place. They have some good prices on the dampener, dampener bracket and the matching tail gate hinge.

The full kit includes the dampener and dampener bracket the partial kit dont have these. You may be able to source these from a wrecking yard or your dealer prices may be cheaper than mine, ( almost 100 bucks each)

The partial kit has the hinge you'll need plus the spacer and 2 plastic fasteners and the bushing for the hinge

 

Definitely want!

 

Send PM for details

 

I am interested

 

Well done
