    The correct answer is....


    No it's not Friday.

    Everyday is Saturday, when you are retired.....


    Did I mention I am retired?

    I'm interested to see pricing and how to get it to work. I passed on the existing kits out there since they seem to mess with the cable.

    It works just like the 3rd gen does, in fact, the damper and damper bracket are 3rd gen OEM parts. I'm doing my best to get it done by friday

    Thanks for going through the trouble of figuring it out. I liked it when I had my 3rd Gen. Although I think the 3rd Gen's tailgate is heavier.

    It may be too expensive for my wallet, but I'm in to see the results.

    And potentially buy if someone will douse the flames on the stock market........... :bananadead:
