Automatic Tailgate lock

[MTF]

It will be all new staff except one the engineer.
For how long I do not know.

If you want to set something up I will help but I only know the engineer now.

Thanks but after reading the install it looks to complicated for me. Not sure if it'd be worth the hassle.

 

[MTF]

It is really easy, I just went into full detail with the instructions with some suggestions.
You don't need to be a auto mechanic to install this.

I'll think about it after owning the truck for a little bit. It does seem nice to have but I'm not sure I'll use the bed often.

 

[MTF]

I understand.

This is my first pickup truck, I always had big SUV's and I wasn't going to do anything right away to the back until the snow came.
What a pain it was to get the snow out and if you leave it in the sun turns it into ice, now try to get that out.
And if you leave the ice in it will slide around damaging the bed and tailgate!
That's why I went with the cover and then the lock it now makes all kinds of sense!!!!!

I'm glad we don't get a lot of snow down here! haha

Alright, alright.

To be honest I have little more fun driving in the snow and pulling other 4X4's out because they think they can go where I go, then driving dirt trails.
This beast does great in the snow, better than anything I've owned.
And if you ever watched IRT one of the film crew has a Raptor and he pulled a stuck empty 18 wheeler in the snow out and then on to the frozen lake.

My wife calls bs on the IRT thing. But, seriously, I would be open to partake in a group buy if the price was right... I'm still leaning towards the DIY version. It should be easy now that you've done all the hard work. lol!

Yes a $10 dollar actuator is cheap, if you don't mind gettting the wires and loom and drilling holes
and bending the rod so it works just right and hoping it will last. that's the way to go.

For me this is a Professional install. I fell that my money was well spent.

Maybe someone should call them and see if they want to be a supporting Vendor and give a discount to members.
I think that would be cool.

Thanks for your find MTF! Im loving my locking tailgate. It is like having a worry free trunk, great for shopping and the holiday season coming up! I throw stuff in, hit the remote and forget about it! Its outta sight, and well protected! (For those who dont know, I went with the Pace Edwards electric rollback. Steel rollback is why I got it. I always worried the other brand's vinyl top will eventually wear and rip. Plus a thief may decide to cut through the vinyl thinking its not metal underneath.)
