Ripout from what I understand. Not rebuilt.
Way too much money.
The tailgate is now activated by 2pistons controlled via fob. Visible is the chairlift in the back. A soft top will eventually replace the hardtop. You can also see the grab/transfer bar on the driver side
Here u can see the transfer seat in the stowed position, when it's in the down position to transfer onto, and then in the up position where I slide into the seat. Later I'll take video of using it
What did you use for actuators on the tailgate and do you think one would work well on new pickups?
Can't find the build sheet currently but yes it would work on a new pickup.
can you stop the tailgate rams in any position or just up/down?
So far I like it quite a bit. I have very limited time behind the wheel with it but so far so good. Drives very different than the van so takes getting used to.
Thanks, its a work in progress for sure. I know where I want to go with it
Yes its button controlled and stops/starts when I press it
What does he race? I've got a crip friend who has a drag car. Pretty badass
Here are a few pics of the hydraulic steering assist

Never seen an electric over hydraulic steering assist. Does this use a ram like a normal hydraulic assist setup or is it just like a backup power assist if the engine dies?
I'm not exactly sure how it works. I will call and get a better explanation before I talk out of my ass. I do know that if power fails(engine dies) there is a button in the cab that will use the battery power to keep the pump going

Just my 2 cents:
Look at dodge D60 front axles too. There are only a few small differences between GM and Dodge front axles. Might have to regear though if your going 4.56. Mine is from a dodge and went in without much complaint. I think anything pre 93 will have the passenger drop.
Got my 14BFF and D60 for $1300 package deal. Keep scouring marketplace and eBay. Deals are out there, just getting harder to find.

I was wondering to myself if a Dodge Dana 60 would work. I think I even passed over one the other day. Thank you
