Man I just love those plasma cutters. It makes working so much easier. Good work guys.

[@TruckorTrack]

Your shop did a great job installing the liftgate looks perfect from the video the deck is right on. I know this is my personal pet peeve is the switch for the liftgate for me personally I would’ve had it mounted sideways so don’t face up for the rain and bad weather I know it’s a weatherproof switch but that’s is me personal. Not that wrong the way it’s installed . Keep up the great videos👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@TruckorTrack]

I agree with you Stash. I prefer the in cab option and we have put them in the tool box before as well. Keep Watching.

Thanks Clayton!!

[@budlvr]

Great video Todd. Do me a favor and tell Mr. Dirt Perfect what "music" was playing in the background portion of the time lapse, SO HE NEVER USES THAT ! Where did you get that stuff?

[@TruckorTrack]

Lol!! It comes with the editing software. We have to be careful with what we use so we don’t get into trouble. I will pass that along to old Dirt tho.

[@casycasy5199]

nice job guys

[@donbullock8790]

Does Kentucky have laws where a truck does not need 'back-up' lights? The fixtures you had mounted don't have them. I thought that was a DOT requirement. What model gate is that?

[@TruckorTrack]

Don GREAT QUESTION!!! The backup lights are LED and built into the backup lights. They are hard to see but they are their. In Kentucky shoes and backup lights not required. Lol just joking. That is a M16ET.

[@JasonWorksAlot]

So early Todd isn’t even out of bed yet I bet. 😂😂

[@TruckorTrack]

Lol!! I’m still in my slippers.

[@JasonWorksAlot]

@@TruckorTrack psh I bet! Hey it’s not easy being you though right 😂😂 some of us have been at work for atleast 7 hours by now you know

[@TruckorTrack]

Lol!! I dressed now and working.

[@artieainscow365]

Hello, What model # is the lift gate that you used?

[@TruckorTrack]

Hey Artie sorry for the delay on the reply. I had a password issue. That is a Thieman M16ET 84x36+6 single cylinder stow away, Power Up Gravity Down with the LED lights. Need anything else please let me know.

[@corleyinc]

Where are the Truck or Track tee shirts at

[@TruckorTrack]

Man Curt we are working on those. Send me a email @ [e-mail] will take care of you. Thanks for watching!!

[@jamesbergfeld5923]

Do you disconnect the batteries and modules be for welding on the trucks?

[@TruckorTrack]

Great Question James!! We just disconnect the positive and negative on the battery. So we pretty much remove the battery. We do not touch the Moduels/ECU or TCU. We used to but it caused a few issues going that far. So just disconnecting the battery works great. Thanks for the question.

[@David-ll8bt]

Good job. Do you think you could put one on a Duce and a Half Military Truck?

[@TruckorTrack]

Hey David sorry just saw this. Yes you can put this on a military vehicle. One problem is most military vehicles are 24 Volt. We would have to swap the motor of convert from 24 to 12 volt.

[@TruckorTrack]

Thanks for watching!!!!

[@Crewsy]

Be careful Todd. It looks like you came real close to working at the end and risked getting your hands dirty operating the Theiman tailgate.

[@TruckorTrack]

Hey Wayne. Sorry for the slow reply. Your right I need to be careful so I don’t get dirty. Lol Thanks for watching.

[@Crewsy]

@@TruckorTrack You’ve been quite clear when Dirt Perfect is there that you don’t “work” so it’d be a shame that you get caught “working” on your own videos. Thieman tailgates are great. We had them on the propane trucks I drove in the 80’s and 90’s but they weren’t the fold away type but the under frame section was basically the same.

[@bonniedobkin6948]

Uncle Tony says he wants to know if you are a Theiman Parts & Tech distributor , we have a (re-purposed) Ameri-gas Truck with IMT /Theiman /Reading combined on same unit spec.ed by Ameri-gas ,

[@chrispax8844]
