Thanks for the vid. Get yourself a GoPro chest or head mount might make things easier to film

Algorithm Comment!

Hey Adam, the link for the tailgate assist product goes to the central locking kit. Can you fix the link please mate? Gonna start stockpiling bits of kit whilst I await my new toy, and I may as well do so by your links. Can you shoot me a message when you've had a chance to fix that one? Cheers.

Getting one of these bad boys. Yeww

Spacer…. I know how you know! Great vid. The HSP is a lot easier to install than the cheaper unit I’ve got.

You have a very nice stuff and idea sir. I love that

Ok. I’ve snapped of two torque T40 starbit only it is being stubborn. How do I get it undone

I bought this attempted to install but my star screws on the hinges were so tight I couldn't loosen them without stripping the screw which did happen. :(

Any issues long term with this mate? I have another brand one on mine and it broke the tailgate locking mechanism because it put too much pressure on the tailgate.

Thanks for the video. It's very useful. Nicely demonstrated. Any idea how to add tie-down points in the front of the tray to tie dogs? Thank you

Hey mate just wondering if you might have any ideas on how I can remove the torx bolts 3 undone but on the 4th the torx bit has messed up the inside of the bolt seems to be really tight. Now the torx bit just won't grab . Really don't want to get the cutting disc out and cut bolt in a shape that a socket can go on .

Hey mate finally got the barsted out by drilling centre out with 2mm drill bit heated bit up hoping it would melt the locktight got the dremal with cutting disc cut a slot used a large flat head in my impact driver and victory. Also fitted auto mirrors and Windows definitely easier following your u-tube thanks . Now is a catch can worth fitting

Your instructions were impeccable but couldn't avert the over-torquing of one of the screws at factory. Ended up having to drill and 'easy out' it and replace it 😞

Do these scratch the paint work at all?

Took the plunge and bought and installed this product. Apart from one torque bolt that I needed a mechanics help with ( he'd never seen one so tight) the rest was a breeze thanks to Adams easy to follow tutorial. Very happy with the end result. Onwards to more upgrades....

Hey bro, I've stripped the blue star screws, any options on what I can do to still apply install?

Am sure there's a torsion bar for the dmax

G'day Adam, check your mounting plates for the struts. My first set bent and the second set have done the same. Great struts but the stamped mild steel plates aren't up to the job.. 🤔

We just ordered an XT and while we wait the 6-12 months for our XT, and already have mods list 😅. Nice install Adam, I know you need to take out those little rubber grommets or tailgate stoppers, does it affect it in anyway with closing and still feel solid etc?

Did you have any issues getting the torx bolts undone mate?

Great videos Adam, I get my MY22 DMax in March, (ordered it in July 2021). There are about 10 mods you've done that I'll be adopting. Keep up the great work and keep these video's rolling.

Another great vid Adam, thanks. Are you still happy with the struts after all this time? Have you gotten a spray can of acrylic yet to match your ute colour?

Have you put a seal kit in with that mate

You have the same color on your car as i have :)

I'm curious, any advantage to adding the black cable things rather than just leaving the existing metal hinge arms on? I've seen a few people complain about the cables not going in properly

Would this work without thr cables? Using just the assist and the steel sliding brackets?

Can you tell me how hard it was to get the t40 bolts out of the tailgate hinges as I can’t get three of them to move

Really happy with the tailgate assist. But gee, the tray bolts were so tight. Broke 2 T40 torx bits and partially stripped one bolt. Eventually used an impact driver and big hammer to break the seal and remove the last bolt. Had already put dust seals in place so my tailgate mods are now finished. Have installed a few of Adam's other recommendations and am now contemplating the Lift Kit.

Love all your content mate. Unfortunately for me I simply cannot get those T40 screws out. It's driving me nuts! 😅

Hey, how do you get the drivers side grommet back in place? Mine doesn't want to clip back on

I've got a torsion bar on my ranger and it definitely doesn't open as nice as this. I just installed a down assist strut. I installed the up but it was too strong with the torsion bar and the tailgate wouldn't stay down.
I've removed it but I will try again once I install the tailgate storage mod

Hi again, Took delivery today of my Dmax and love it after just 50 kilometres. Just wondering the best place to buy the HSP products? I was looking at the tail assist and the central locking kit, but they don't see to have an online shop?

Thanks again. I just got a bit confused as Harvey Norman has an online shop for some of this stuff, but I now see that your links generally take me to Ebay. Cant thank you enough for your work, it is so helpful

Should you put any grease or lubricant on the hydraulic strut attachment

I received my kit today and I got the TA-10LH bracket but not the right side. On the Parts sheet there is no mention of the Right hand side. I am just a bit confused if I am missing the right side bracket?? Any advice would be great before I contact the company.

Hi Adam, For the life of me I can't undo the Torx screws on the hinges. I have tried everything including a Rattle Gun. Any ideas would be appreciated. Love your channel!

link to buy online pleas

Great work🤙can a tailgate seal be installed with these?

Purchased, done, easy as 👍

U are amazing and ur explanation perfect well done

Hi Adam, thanks a lot for the Videos they are very straight forward, I love them. Do you know where I can purchase this item in Europe, excluding UK, for tax reasons.......Thanks in advance

Cheers mate. Just ordered one for my 2021 Dmax via your link. Great stuff

Really good

is the cable more durable than the metal hinge?

Tqvm for the video

Hey mate,

Curious how these are holding up? Any issues with the cable catching on the strut etc?
I bought a different brand and were useless, looking at getting better ones..
Cheers
