low flying tailgate

I urge you all to try and lift your opened tailgates. Mine seemed a little low so I stood under it and lifted it a little and noticed that the lower mountings for the gas struts had come loose allowing the whole thing to sag slightly. perhaps the extra weight of my leather belt handle has pushed its design limits to critical mass Laughing At work

Laugh away, but don't come crying to me when the tailgate lands on your heads.


My Chickens love me and would never sabotage the hand that feeds them... or would they. I banned them from watching chicken run to stop them getting crazy ideas Laughing

After slight reversing mishap involving a combine harvester and a barn door frame Embarassed the huge side panel on my machine is now held down with of all things a leather belt Thumbs Up
Tip.. dont try reversing a combine harvester into a shed when you are frustrated due to being rained on again and there is rain all over the mirrors making them useless Evil or Very Mad
Bizarrely apart from the door catch the damage did just t-cut out, mainly because the door frame had a thick coating of black bitumen paint on it. At work
