Just installed a tail gate shock and I freakin love it! The install took about 30 minutes and now my tail gate doesn't crush me when I'm getting crap out of the back when parked on an incline. You gotta appreciate the little things. Lol

 

I installed mine about 2 weeks ago and I'm pretty stoked about it too!

 

I've been wanting to get one of those. Which brand/model did you guys go with?

 

I have the locking Rampage one. I was debating on this one and a few others, but buddy got it for my Bday and I dig it. I found online for $35 when others are around $70

 

that seems like a cool mod. which one did you use?

 

Here is the one I got...

quadratec.com/products/13027_2001.htm

4wheelparts has exact same setup for $38.99

Talk to Joe (Quadratec rep here on forums) and he will price match and probably throw shipping in for free

 

OR!!

Write this Rep since its basically same company and see what he will do for you as a black Friday special.. Oh and it's free shipping with him too

Thanks Hskr4x4, I'm going to get the rampage hood lock also. Visa card on fire again!

 

I went to the local junkyard and took a shock off the trunk of a Ford Escort. Cost was $5

 

I have a 2011 and it comes with a strut to hold the tailgate open and I was so pleased that Jeep has finally done some small thnings that make it easier on us when we are off camber. Hopefully they will find some other things to do for us that make things better.
