⏩ Where did this start?
I really enjoy tinkering with different projects - they usually require a whole bunch of research and learning along the way. It's satisfying on doing a thing and standing back and going 'Yeah! Totally did that!'. I had a bunch of mates asking 'how did you know how to do that?' and 'I couldn't never do that myself so I thought; I need to start something where I can help others that might be thinking the same thing :)
⏩ What will you find here?
The purpose is simply to make these videos as top quality and helpful as I can. They will always be free, there's ZERO agenda and the only motive is to try and upload what I would want to watch to help with that particular project. I'm also keen to keep building this little community and will try to answer all questions when asked - fire away :)
⏩ What's with the gloves?
Not after any KZbin fame here which is why I'm not in the vids - they're not about me they're about the how-to! I used the gloves for the first couple of projects I filmed which just happened to be messy ones and it kinda just became a thing. Plus adds a little more personality I guess :)
New videos are being uploaded regularly so if there's something you'd like to see, have Questions and/or Comments drop me a line.
Cheers guys.
Adam

Really happy with the tailgate assist. But gee, the tray bolts were so tight. Broke 2 T40 torx bits and partially stripped one bolt. Eventually used an impact driver and big hammer to break the seal and remove the last bolt. Had already put dust seals in place so my tailgate mods are now finished. Have installed a few of Adam's other recommendations and am now contemplating the Lift Kit.

Hi Adam, For the life of me I can't undo the Torx screws on the hinges. I have tried everything including a Rattle Gun. Any ideas would be appreciated. Love your channel!

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Have read through the comments of this vid, has been a few tips as some have been in the same boat. I must have got lucky with mine! I'd suggest 1) running a razor blade around the bolt head to break the paint seal if there is one 2) use a good quality (eg week fitting torx bit 3) give the bit a couple of sharp hits with a hammer before trying

[@ryankinninment8318]

I'm curious, any advantage to adding the black cable things rather than just leaving the existing metal hinge arms on? I've seen a few people complain about the cables not going in properly

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Good q - unsure if the factory hinge would work with the new lug but worth a go

[@bcraine82]

Great detail on the install process, would you recommend filling the holes left from the rubber stops you removed? now to get my dmax and start mods

No real need I wouldn't think, there's drain holes below but if concerned I'd get some of those little rubber blanking seals from the big green shed ✌️

G'day Adam, check your mounting plates for the struts. My first set bent and the second set have done the same. Great struts but the stamped mild steel plates aren't up to the job.. 🤔

[@LongStraightLines]

@@VideoShowMeHow yep, they sent me another pair of plates but they've bent as well. Not as bad as the first ones and they're still functional.

Hey mate just wondering if you might have any ideas on how I can remove the torx bolts 3 undone but on the 4th the torx bit has messed up the inside of the bolt seems to be really tight. Now the torx bit just won't grab . Really don't want to get the cutting disc out and cut bolt in a shape that a socket can go on .

[@VideoShowMeHow]

Hey, yes seems to be a few people with this issue. I must have got lucky. Best advice would be to really push the bit into the bolt as hard as you can before cranking. Use an extension bar if needed. Another thing you could try is seeing if there is a paint seal on the bolt, if so run a sharp Stanley knife around the head of the bolt to break any seal
