[QUOTE="benzfanatical, post: 1827540, member: 26475"] Greetings Raptor Advice Gods, In an absolute affront to all things Raptor, I use mine for regular overland travel. They are actually a pretty good overland rig choice, with some re-springing. But that's not what I'm here to get in a kerfluffle about today. As you can see by my photo, while everyone has been obsessing about the deletion of the tailgate applique, I have deleted my entire tailgate. The tailgate removal facilitated the installation of my Four Wheel Camper Raven onto my Gen 3 Raptor. It's a big chonky at 1000lbs(ish) but with some new springs soon, I'll be fine. I've used the spring collars for now to get some height, so I'm not dragging too bad. Someday when an airbag kit comes out, I may go that route. Background complete. Now on to my issue. I need to remove the tailgate from the programming of the truck, or at least trick the truck into thinking it's closed. The truck thinks its open, but its not. The alarm, door locks, and rearview camera systems are all very unhappy. I did buy a camera relocation kit for the embedded rear unit and mounted it at approximately the right height, but with the tailgate seemingly open, I'm unable to do several key things. I'm fairly handy with ForScan, or I could even make a jumper somewhere if I need to. Any advice? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
