Gate King Adjustable Truck Bed Extender Installation - 2023 Toyota Tacoma- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer and today, we're taking a look and installing the Gate King Tailgate Extender on a 2023 Toyota Tacoma. And this is gonna allow you to get your tailgate in multiple different spots and that way you can really get it custom fit to whatever you have in your bed. (tailgate clicking) And the great part is, is whenever you need to close it up, (tailgate clicking) it goes back to being a normal tailgate, so let's first take a look at why you might want one. If you haul an ATV or a dirt bike in your truck, sometimes you're gonna realize that maybe the truck bed isn't long enough to account for that, or if you're doing any household projects, you got a ladder or two by fours, whatever it may be, a lot of times you're gonna have that shooting up over the tailgate, which is totally fine, but if you have a camper shell or a tonneau cover, you can run into some issues there and that's where having a little bit of adjustability from the tailgate is gonna allow for that to drop down low enough to still be able to maintain that tonneau cover. We're gonna be putting a mid-height ladder rack on here and that really could be an issue with some taller or larger things, so having that tailgate to be able to drop down to really account for that is gonna be huge. And this, again, is super helpful with those dirt bikes and ATVs, obviously this wasn't a dirt bike, but similar concept where we are kind of hanging off to where we don't have a tailgate really holding anything in place, so this can act slightly like a wheel chock in a sense, 'cause as you raise this up, you're gonna at least have some back pressure against that rear tire to really keep it all nice and tight in place. more

Gate King Adjustable Tailgate Support Bars Installation - 2019 GMC Sierra 1500- Video
Hey everyone, Shane here with etrailor.com. Today I have a 2019 GMC Sierra, and we're going to be installing Gate king's tailgate adjuster. Maybe you're like me, you use your truck for a lot of different things., For instance, carrying loads, where it sticks out past the tailgate and you have to have your tailgate down all the time, I've actually lost some loose items when carrying something like this, I've lost some loose items from the back of my truck, going down the highway. Well, there's a solution and that is the tailgate adjuster, it's going to allow you to adjust your tailgate in different positions, to help keep those items in the bed of your truck, keep you from losing them.As you can see here, this is going to work great for our longer loads, we're able to raise our tailgate up, kind of get the ladder up in the air rather than being in flat, potentially, maybe losing our ladder or anything else. This is also going to work great for your ATVs and your dirt bikes, you can use your tailgate as a wheel jump, so a lot of times when you put your dirt bike inside, the tire is going to stick out past the end of your bed just a little bit, you take your tailgate with the adjustment on it, lock it up against your back tire and it's going to keep your dirt bike from or four wheeler for that matter, from moving forward and backward in the bed of your truck while you're traveling.Another nice thing that I really like about this, as you can see with our tailgate up or ladder in place, maybe you have surf boards, are going to work basically the same way as we have our ladder here, you raised your tailgate up. Another thing that I really like about this set up is we're still able to use our tonneau cover, this being able to use our tonneau cover like this is going to help secure or better secure items up there towards the cab of that truck even with our tailgate, partially open.As I mentioned, we're going to have eight different locking positions. more

Hey guys, it's Jake here with eTrailer. Today we're going to be taking a look at the DeeZee tailgate assist. What this is going to do is it's going to take the weight of your tailgate and slow it down and actually take the weight away from you and just allow the tailgate to slowly set down.We've all had those times when we are trying to open up the tailgate while carrying something and you can't hold the whole weight of the tailgate with one hand. Now you can see how much easier it is to open that tailgate and just let it drop and let the piston take the weight while you're still holding whatever you're holding. It's going to have a very low profile and non-invasive design, which is going to look really, really good when you close up your tailgate and you can't see it at all.When your lifting your tailgate into place it's going to have no resistance of when you're putting your tailgate back into closed position, but then when you see when you drop it it's going to take that weight and rest it easy.As you can see here, we do have a little bit of wear on the rubber coating on our cable and what will happen over time, that cable will begin to rust and if someone we're to drop your tailgate full force you could risk breaking those cables. This tailgate assist is not only going to make it easier to lower your tailgate, but it's also going to prolong the longevity of your cables on your tailgate.Now I'll go ahead and show you how to get everything installed. more

Whenever it's opened, it's going to be under pressure, so when we go to lift it up, it's going to relieve that pressure and start to relax, making it a lot easier for us to lift it up. more
