[bradFORD]

Thanks for the video, I'm still waiting on my Mav for install. While waiting, I'm going to paint my tailgate assist hardware black.

IF I need to haul anything that would require it to be tied down, it's a 5 min job to screw the tie down back on temporarily.
Having the tail gate assist on is a big plus when I have to open my tail gate 4-5 times EVERYDAY.

I don't understand how it could be a plus. It takes almost 3 seconds to fully open in the video. I can open the tailgate in my Ranger in a second or less without it bounding off the cables. I don't have to watch it slowly opening before it is

Some of us are not as young anymore and joints in the shoulder and elbow ain't what it used to be. It's not the speed that's a plus. It's the amount of effort or lack there of when you've got aches and pains.
But hey, to each his own.

Used the Dee-Zee damper and followed @Shay's advice to a tee and it works perfect.
