yea start taking the steroids now ;) your going to need a mate with you because you,ll be amazed how heavy the fvckers are

As no one else has said anything here is my pennys worth.the plastic twisty clips you tend to fuxk up when tacking off tailgate are pennys to replace with gen parts, undo your rear struts from the tailgate end much easyer but dont compleatly take off untill all wireing is unpluged, i say this because if you have bought replacement tailgate more than likely wire has been cut of near roof end (bodgers)all the wiring plugs are in the tailgate ,be carefule here some wireing needs to be seperated so as you can pull the plugs through.only once all wireing and centre water pipe are disconnected undo struts lay rear hactch down,remembering to lock rear hacthdown with screwdriver because if your on your own what a bastexd to be in two places at same time.last pull up boot seal, not all just rear half and drop in boot,then centre light drop and only a third of roof linning at back saves you fuxcking that up and is easyer to put back in,that then gives you good enough axcess to the last 4 bolts with tailgate down not shut but restdown on lock or pilow all wireing out 4 bolts lift clean away, ideal two people but then youve only got someone else to blame once droped hope this is helped sorry about spelling ,got draged up and drink to much but hey no,ones perfect hey.
