Great Video! FYI, you can remove that rubber bumper from the inside if you take the taillight off, it's just a couple screws.

I dont think my comment went through regarding a obs bronco assist, but the site is called gerber design solutions. It mount alittle differently and doesn't require a rivnut to mount either. Hope this helps all the obs Bronco owners especially if your tortion bar bracket broke like mines oof

Nicely thought out fitting kit with that. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade, the way the tailgate normally drops is really jarring if you don’t have hold of it. Another good tailgate update is a tailgate lock on the lift-out side of the hinges. I picked one up on clearance at a parts store recently. With these tailgates rusting out and being so easy to remove, theft of them is going to become a thing, if it isn’t already. 👍🏻

Mine came in and when I installed it the bottom of the piston keeps popping off. After a few more try's I noticed it was hitting the hump on the tailgate that comes in contact with the rubber guide I removed as you did in the video. For visual clarification it is hitting the part to the right of your finger at 2:39 in your video. What am I doing wrong, I'm sure its simple and I'm just not seeing it.

@@TheMinuteMasters Took your word for it and ordered one. Just got mine in the mail. One of the mounts (top mount) was not powder coated and looks like they went up another ten dollars to 85 for the powder coating. Paid 75 (before they went up in price) for this to be power coated and only get half of it powder coated. Good product yet it sells elsewhere for less, now you might get it from china paying that low. Just sn info post on whet I got from them....oh and I got no sticker! :( (lol joking bout the sticker though ya no sticker) So to recap - $75.00, half powder coated, and ....no sticker :) ...Oh and they went up to $85.00 now.
