Tailgate

[JSTARSPILOT]

Can an 04 tailgate be modified to have that thing in it the 05's have that makes it easy to put up and down?

Sure!!

Several people have done it-it's called the tailgate assist.

I believe the kit is 30 bucks, and it took others about an hour and a half to install.

Do a search. I remember a member named 1BadTitan had a thread with pics about it. Search using his s/n and use tailgate assist.

I hope that's what you're talking about...

You can't put the factory torsion bar on the 04 Titan tailgate. However, there is an aftermarket item that will work. The bed is different from 04 to 05.

You have an 04? I thought you bought you truck recently? I guess I am thinking of someone else.

Are we all that weak. I thought we bought a Manly truck. Use some muscle. If you dont use them you will lose them! I like having a heavy gate that way if anyone is under it when I open it they will know better next time!!!

I personally like being able to close my tailgate with one hand very easily! Does this make me unmanly? I hope not!

I think that the tailgate assist is more woman friendly. My wife sure does love it, and she definitely is not manly.

I think it may prevent my kid from getting a concussion if it ever fell on his head if thats not manly then give me a skirt.

Sometimes I think my 12 year old needs something to fall on his head to make him think straight!

If you are really MANLY then you can't use it anyway because you wouldn't be caught dead reading installation instructions.
