You can't have cables installed with this? My dads tundra has tailgate assist and cables and so does my friends 2016 Tacoma.

 

you can but its tight. hmm maybe thats why no one is snagging this sweet deal.

 

I'm interested but only if I can keep the cables. I always stand on my tailgate or have heavy stuff on there. Do u have a pic of it installed or link to where you bought it so I can check?

 

There are ways to reduce the binding:

What's the difference between this and the kits that are about $20 new?
Is this OEM Toyota?

 

same brand kits? not oem. i couldnt tell you.

I put a zip tie on the shock portion. Forces the cable to the outside upon closure. Works like a champ.

However, looking into doing @tomwil idea of the brackets when I finally acquire a tailgate plate from Mobtown.. I want the reinforcement in place 1st

So many things I want to do...

 

pic of your zip tie placement, please...

 

When placed, be sure it's tight so it doesn't rotate. Eventually the cable will form to where it needs to go, however, I just left the zip tie so don't have to ever worry about it. Doesnt hurt anything there anyway. Haven't had an issue since installed

 

simple enough-thanks!
