tailgate

[vanman]

is there only one type of tailgate?
seems a crazy setup,having to
unlock the spare
swing it out,
relock it with pin
lower the window (fingers crossed)
unlock the tailgate
release the tailgate
absolute madness?
nothing annoys me more about my surf than the krypton factor boot.

there's the type that doesn't have the wheel on the tailgate, it's underneath.

a lot of us have the spare under the surf at the back so we dont have that problem. i open my rear window at least 16 times a day as my work equipment is in the back. a rear mounted spare would be a pain for me.

3rd gen had a different tailgate... more like an estate car... no worries there!

Or...... you could have one like mine, spare underneath but no key hole at all! In fact the only way I can open the back window from the drivers seat, see pic. I've got a tailgate as smooth as a babies bum!!!

pain in the ass!... what you want is remote opening from fob, like mine!... opens as you approach so you just sling you gear in and off you go!

The agility test used to annoy me when I first got the truck. Now I don't even notice it- just do it automatically. The best laugh is when I chuck my keys to a workmate and say,"Put these in the back of the car please." Confused or what?

Will be getting an alarm fitted very soon and a remote rear window opening 'oojit' is what I'll be asking for. Do you think it's available?

usually part of the total closure... get a decent cat 1 and ask the fitter... clifford or toad would probably be your best bet for "add ons"

Thats a good point Pete

Not tellin' yer - it's a secret!!

[Damian]

Oh go on then, I'll tell yer. If you take a very close look, (and I mean very) at the o/s part of the bumper you'll see an extra bit of black plastic, that's the illumination bit and the plate fits just below it. Doh, obviously!!
