Redline Tailgate EZ Down for 2012

just curious why would you need to install the cable back on?

 

The piston doesn't really support weight.

 

Dremel, trim tailgate material, cable back on. It is starting to take the proper shape for easy operation now.

 

Ive owned my ez down for two years and have experienced similar tollerable issues cable kink, rub, push to outside and difficult to close. My cable just cut and im not looking to replace the oem cable. Instead i plan on crimping on a thinner cable. Does anyone have any experience with the cable cutting? Was even thinking about trying para 550.

I like the mod as it aides in opening while in the bed camping and one handed opening thus id like to keep the mod and appreciate all input.

 

I too have purchased this mod, and noticed that the torx screw is tack-welded in place. I have no idea how to get this thing out. 2012 Tacoma.

Any suggestions?

 

For the love of God man ... what was your wife doing opening your tailgate ...

 

doe's any budy know how much weight ez down can hold on tailgate without the cable attach ?

 

Yup, my 2012, the cable is binding with the strut,did try it without cable and it works fine,if you can handle it without the cable then it works good, if not then go back to stock.
