Your lucky! I found out mine went bad at the store, then again I talked about it. I said, "My ****ing feet hurt and this clutch is to hard!" I was with my friend and just joking, and what happens? The DAMN tailgate falls right on my head. Hasn't worked since.

Forgot to say make sure they are stock dampers, otherwise the high rise crew will rip you apart for upgrade.

As for a body it could fit but you would probably have to cut a limb or two off

Lol my buddy has the same problem

Might have to fold him over. Talk him into touching his toes, while your standing behind him with a tape measure.

Easier yes, cheaper, no.
Comes under difficulty coming up with money for little things.

So you have a power lift gate? I didn't know that was an option.

By press the button, I mean at the rear liftgate not from inside the vehicle.
Not one of those auto open/close jobs.

Yeah, mine doesn't have a button on the gate, just a handle you pull forward then lift it open.

Do you care to take a pic of the button bullettooth?

I wonder what other features you have that we don't that have kinda flown under the radar. A liftgate button isn't usually brought up in normal forum conversations lol!

Question.

I am going to put my exhaust on next weekend. I want to get some stainless screws and nuts from work to bolt it all together.

Will a regular stainless screw hold up to the heat of the exhaust? I want to use them so they don't corrode or rust in case I ever have to take them apart.

The reason I am asking is because I wonder why they weren't used when it was first assembled. They don't cost that much more unless the grade of stainless that needs to be used is a special kind. Kinda like C2 carbide is more expensive then regular carbide because it's harder.

Anybody know what size screw to use? I believe the hole was reamed for a 1/4-20NC but I don't have my calipers here.
