great weather and a ton of wheeling what more could you ask for

 

I'm Florida bound boys...can't wait to slap Mickey...lol..my 35s hopefully will be on my doorstep when I get home...have a great spring break...

 

You COULD ask for a million dollars - or a couple

Have fun and a great trip

 

BTW, aligning your tailgate sucks :(

 

Yes it does... Did you get the carrier installed on the hinges??? That was one of the biggest pain in the butt because you need someone else to hold the carrier while you run the bolt down with the shims and washers and what nots in a sequence

 

Nope... I am still aligning the tailgate :(

What controls the alignment? The 4 bolts on the gate? The 6 bolts on the body side of the hinge? Or both sets?

Because, for the life of me I cannot figure out how to get the tailgate to stay up, it keeps sagging.

 

he said sagging ok......if it sags then you might need to shim it on the bottom side, if it is to upright then shim it on the top side

 

Don't worry about the sagging - we'll get your tailgate some water from the fountain of youth later. You'll have to re-align them later when you put the carrier on anyway - I did the mistake of tightening up all the bolts that held the tailgate up and about an hour later had to loosen them all up . Just get the bolts in to where the tailgate will stay up. I gently lifted the tailgate up into position with the bolts in the hinges, then shut it till it was securely latched (like how you would keep it closed normally), and then snugged the bolts up by hand while the tailgate was closed.

 

Okay the tailgate is aligned... now for my first bit of drilling (unless you count previously when I cut my factory hinges

 

Well, it looks like I am going to stop working for the night. It's too late to be drilling, I wouldn't want my neighbors calling the cops or anything

It looks like I am drilling the holes for the latch side brace. I had to remove the carpet and weather stripping from the cargo area to drill to holes. I started those holes with a smaller bit (as I didn't want to use a punch and REALLY wake up the neighborhood), but after getting the little holes starts I decided that was a good stopping point.

Manoj, just for conformation... the passenger side, I don't have to remove that tail light do I? The instructions made it sound like I did, but I'm not sure what would go over there... is that latter in the instructions?
