Having used a lift gate at my previous job, I knew I had to have one. After watching your install video I found one used on Craigslist and a new install kit and had it on and running in a few hours. Installation was a breeze as I saw how it was done here. I wanted to say thank you for taking the time to record and upload this video.
Thanks so much , I will be installing mine next weekend , this is a game changer for me, maybe I can get ten more years out of this 66 year old body. No more ramps loading the snow blower .
Great video. I just bought an 06 Ram 2500 that has one on it. Mine has a taller gate that folds out further but otherwise it’s the same. Mine is missing that cover plate over the ram and pump so the only additional thing I wish you had shown in your video is the removal of that cover so I knew what it was supposed to look like in case I wanted to make one.
All my doubts disappear from my mind With this video thank you so much I'm going to install one on my Nissan titan and I let you know guys with a video 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for making this video! I am looking at an S10 that has one of these mounted already and I want to remove it so I can put a tailgate and bumper back on. Seems easy to remove now.
I purchased one of these today. My platform doesn’t fold out (single). The guy was saying I need to get a wiring harness for my ford by my tailgate lights (his was a Chevy) ??? Also what if I do not have the Gussets? It didn’t come with them but it has the plates bolted to the actual lift. ( I am missing the Triangle shaped gussets that go in the back of the bed) ?????
call tommy liftgate, you need the mounting brackets, upper for bed part and lower to attach to frame(if you have no hitch). Besides +/- from batt to liftgate, you need to tap license plate lights.
Great video. How much was the gate and how much did you save doing your own install? I'm seriously considering it. I can do it but getting old and don't know if I want to do the work.
Great video, very cool. I would love to have one of these on my 2011 4X4 F250 but it's got a 6" lift kit and I don't know if they make a lift for a truck with a lift kit. Thank you for the video, very cool lift. Having this unit is boss!👍
thanks for showing how the stuff works. i gona build som custom lift for my hilux cuz we dont hawe that kind of tail lifters here in eu : / thanks again :D
It really came down to safety for me. I have picked up a few snowblowers (10hp flat tires) and I really don't want to drop the machine or slip on the ramps. Also, major time saver not having to hook up the trailer to run 3 miles down the road.
I agree with you. The aluminum looks better than steel, but it still does not look as nice as the factory tailgate. The dodge's look better than the GMC and Chevy because the back corners of those trucks are not rounded under the bumper, when it is removed.
Tommy Gate customer service is the best. If your lift is having trouble going down, it most likely needs new kick out springs. Tommy P/n# 3818. Easy to install
i'm planning to remove a tommy lift from a junkyard F250 obs truck. Your installation video has given me insight into the removal. Question. In order to lower the liftgate do i need 12 volts or can i gravity lower push the ram back inside the cylinder? Also did you weld the gap plate onto the truck bed sheet metal or just on the gate? my guess is that the gap metal slides over the truck bed but is not permanently welded. 3rd question. If i do need to apply 12v to lower could i use a motorcycle batt and hot wire it at the rear controls? Any answers will help me know what to bring to the yard. Thanks a bunch for the video regardless.
call tommygate they are super helpful even if you don't buy your gate from them. They can answer all the questions you have in a second. I know you need power to release the latch to lower the gate and the metal is welded to the liftgate not the truck bed. You will love your gate, I use mine about 2 times a week.
I harvest them from salvage. Jumper cables work fine as do bike batteries or jump packs. Don't "guess" and do download the instructions from the manufacturer which have exploded parts breakdowns. These gates are SIMPLE. Get the large circuit breaker and electrical cable if they're still on the donor truck.
Don't do house calls. I pick up locally and work on in my shop and then I drop off. I don't drive more than 10 miles. I have been having trouble with heavy snowblowers and flat tire pick-ups. No trailer needed and I can justify this thing over and over again and again.
Prices vary. Study your local market. Condition matters. I'd give say up to 400 for one but mine were cheaper because I'm a mechanic and have the right friends.
It's just about the only way to go if you lift and move a lot of mowers, blowers, washers, dryers refrigerators, etc. Thanks, Bob. I know you'll put it to good use...just look out for all the neighbors who need you to pick-up that new "_____" they just got at "_____." :>)
That is always fine. I just let them take the truck and return it. No big deal my neighbors are great, and I'm happy to help out if I can. This unit will be getting a lot of work from me. I thought about keeping a checklist every time someone says that is a nice lift.

I like how your explaining everything about it and not just a little video nice 👍 job
Nice feature to have. The older I get the more I can appreciate it.
It is going to get used a lot by me. I will post a future vid. of how it is working out.
love your style man so real down to earth. great video

Very nice show. Giving my confidence a boost. Thank you
Awesome job. I didn't know how those worked exactly. Good job explaining and filming the install.
Better weather and I will post a follow up on this unit.
best video i seen this year thanks
I need one when loading fridges in my truck.
All my doubts disappear from my mind
With this video thank you so much
I'm going to install one on my Nissan titan and I let you know guys with a video
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks for making this video! I am looking at an S10 that has one of these mounted already and I want to remove it so I can put a tailgate and bumper back on. Seems easy to remove now.
I have an s10, any chance that you still have that lift gate?
Just the video I needed
I’d love one of those for my 73 1 ton ford firewood hauler
Was there ever a followup made? I have the exact same truck and am trying to decide between a lift gate or a boom hoist.

I could use those Ford F-350 gussets! Mine came off a Chevy
Good job brother that'll save a lot of back aches👍
Serial killer outfit! Lol - love your wife’s sense of humor.
Yup, she makes me laugh sometimes, that is why I keep her around:)
Good job 🎉
Great job!
Thanks. Enjoyed video.

Great video!, so far the best one...
I want one Bob

Sweet install man, I want one now
Yes, it should be very helpful.
Nice job! Will be pretty useful but I can't say I really care for the look of it on the back of that nice truck.
I agree with you. The aluminum looks better than steel, but it still does not look as nice as the factory tailgate. The dodge's look better than the GMC and Chevy because the back corners of those trucks are not rounded under the bumper, when it is removed.
I need one of those
That should take a load off your back. I wish I could have had one when I was in business. Good job!!!
Yup, I hope so.
Nice!
That what I need on my service truck maybe not as wide though. Very good information I really enjoy your videos may God bless
They make them for service trucks. In fact with the service body the gate blends right in and looks better than it does on a regular truck like mine.
That was a great video, thanks. Nice unit.
Thanks Ted.
awesome
Well that will save your back. Well fitted are you pleased with it?
I will make a future video to let you know. I haven't even used it yet.

Amazing job DW6, I give you a lot if credit, not easy working alone and in the cold! 👍👍
Thank you the video is pretty shaky on this one, but that is because I was shivering. Not anything on youtube on these, so I wanted to share the info.
awesome thanks for the info DW ... †
No problem. I'm happy you like it.

I harvest them from salvage. Jumper cables work fine as do bike batteries or jump packs. Don't "guess" and do download the instructions from the manufacturer which have exploded parts breakdowns. These gates are SIMPLE. Get the large circuit breaker and electrical cable if they're still on the donor truck.
thank you it help me
A bit of effort to install, good job!
Thanks, it was a bit of effort, but it is time well spent.
Do you do a lot of house calls , pick up and drop off of the small engine repairs .
Don't do house calls. I pick up locally and work on in my shop and then I drop off. I don't drive more than 10 miles. I have been having trouble with heavy snowblowers and flat tire pick-ups. No trailer needed and I can justify this thing over and over again and again.
How much did you pay for the liftgate used if you don't mind me asking I'm searching for one
Prices vary. Study your local market. Condition matters. I'd give say up to 400 for one but mine were cheaper because I'm a mechanic and have the right friends.
Hey can anyone tell me how much the value of my truck would increase for having an operational 1000lb eagle lift gate on it...just an estimate
Were do i order the bracket kit for my 2004 Dodge Ram 1500..
call tommygate they will give you the distributor in your area.
@@doublewide6 K..Thank u..
How about the 150 Apm were u get them also please?
Ok i got the 150 amp but im confuse how the wires go on the Amp. Can u break it down for me ?
It's just about the only way to go if you lift and move a lot of mowers, blowers, washers, dryers refrigerators, etc. Thanks, Bob. I know you'll put it to good use...just look out for all the neighbors who need you to pick-up that new "_____" they just got at "_____." :>)
