cherokee Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 I've put a non-original tailgate in my MJ and am having trouble adjusting it. The right side seems to sit lower than it should. I tried loosening the lower rider on the bed but there doesn't seem to be enough upward travel to it. The depth of the tailgate is pretty good, just the height on the right side is off. So is there a height adjustment? Did I loosen the wrong thing?
mfpdm Posted July 11, 2008 Posted July 11, 2008 Far as I know there is no height adjustment. The cups on the tailgate are fixed just like the ones on the bed. The only thing that might cause this is that the one on the bed has turned on the bracket. If that has happen then the flat side would cause the drop in height. It should be at like a 45 degree angle. If it has spun then try to move it back and get a screw to put in the middle to torque it down tight. You'll probably have to drill for the screw. Or, find another one and replace it. :cheers:
cherokee Posted July 12, 2008 Author Posted July 12, 2008 It's close to a 45 degree angle, but I don't think it's quite there... So the cup can come loose from the plate it seems to be attached to?
mfpdm Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 It shouldn't but that is the only thing I could think of that would make the difference in height. Maybe someone else can chime in. :cheers:
