I noticed the discounted limiter had 4 holes and the new one 6.Nice finds! Apparently I didn't look around the other day when I ran across them..
Interesting. As long as it will stop at around 90° I would be fine with it. And I really haven't had any problems with my Factory strut. Might give it a shot. Been looking for one for a while but never pulled the trigger.
From what I recall, it is not the limiter that bends the tailgate sheet metal, but the strut bolted directly into the tailgate, which the limiter corrects.
I would buy the 4 because it's all you probably need. And you can always drill another hole if you need to open wider. You don't "need" the rivenuts if you don't have them, can use a bolt on the back side like the warhorse does.
Very true. And I do have a Riv-nut kit that's come in handy plenty of times on the Bronco.
If you do go the 4, I entered raw finish and it's 20. I wonder what other differences would warrant a 30$ gap. I'd might email them. But I dont see any difference
With a $25 delivery fee..... Ouch!
Yep! For $20 I was about to pull the trigger, and then I paused at the $25 delivery. Flat rate would be a fraction of that. Adding and removing things from the cart it looks like once you get over a hundred it's free. But I don't need $100 worth of their stuff.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1707571350/bronco-tailgate-limiter-black is 120 now. I like this style and monkey business over the Amazon one. For price, at the moment, MBiz is still looking top.Well I guess it still puts it the same price as that aluminum one for $45 on amazon. I would try the aluminum one but looks like it's only available in that goldish color. Would be a easier choice if it was available in either plain aluminum or black. I'm wondering which of these designs puts less torque on the mounting. Thinking probably the Monkey Business one.
I'm almost tempted to throw a riv-nut in the right spot on the bottom of the tailgate...
Yeah I've always liked that one. But for the function I'm going to get out of it it's just not worth the money for me.
Lol, I did the same. I even changed the mailing address to see if it moved and nope. This is something we are looking into but not needed yet. So we can wait a while to see if more companies start making them or prices come down some.
Yeah I don't like that it puts all of the stress at the hinge. Every now and then I have to open my tailgate in a bad spot, and with the 37's and steelies I don't want to chance it.
Good find on the strut, that is the weakest link by far and previous attempts to provide aftermarket improvements have fallen short. Seems like someone tried it and it wouldn't fit, but I could be mis-remembering. Do you have one of the struts?
