Seems like ideal place for ammo storage! Lockable, plus locked inside the tray! Need to see a dust strip solution for the Dmax... My 2022 LSU Space Cab is a disaster!
Hey mate great idea, now that its 2 years on, how's it holding up ? No rust ? No water ingress ? How do the struts go ? Ok to stand on to get into tray ? Mates just bought the 24 xterrain and considering do same thing. Your videos have been really informative to learn about the car. Thanks mate
Hey guys great video BTW one thing what about the rubber seals if you don't replace them how is it sealing and can this work with a tail gate sealer kit
Looks good. I thought struts can be adjusted by a professional, worth looking into. Or, try stabilus in Melbourne and give them the measurements of the struts you have and see what they have to build new ones and what strength needed, i just did it with my EGR load shield now that I have maxtrax and a roof basket etc on it. Made in Melbourne and quick turn around. I want to see someone fit one of these with the EGR dust defence kit, think it won’t work unfortunately.
Yep no issue, you just gotta do that extra little cut of the vertical lip in the middle (tried to show in the video) then works fine. Still running mine functions as normal 👍
Thanks Adam, another informative video. Where the holding screws stainless or zinc steel? I was wondering if they have a rear rack which you could fit your spare tire under. This will allow top of the rack to use for max trax, solar panel etc. Also spare tyre would be ove wheels and allow long range tank under tray rear.
Hi mate love the channel I just picked up my new dmax and have ordered the same system have hsp upgraded the struts I have ordered the same system as you installed along with LED bulbs for indicator and reverse. Loving the feel of it first Ute I’ve owned had a NT Pajero for the last 11 years 320k on clock and sold to a good mate😢
Hey Adam. I was wondering if at the time of this video you had the central locking kit installed? And what exactly did you suggest you might have to do, couldn’t really understand what you comment was referring to? Make the opening larger by around 30mm? Thank you in advance
Yes I did, you need to trim the inside lip of the box by about 30mm with a grinder otherwise it could foul on the mechanism. It will depend on which type you've gone with though, some don't I beleive
Nice video again Adam. I noticed something attached to the back of you right hand swing box. Is it a light? Sorry, maybe someone has asked this question before.
Hi Adam. Have had the tailgate storage installed for a few months now and have just had the right tailgate assist strut snap of the bracket. Would you reccomend any other strut system that can handle the constant weight?
Have been trialing using the grunt struts for the last while and have been going well, seem to have a bit more 'grunt' as well. Which ones did you have? Apparently HSP have updated their design
Mate great video. I’m sitting in the waiting room at Line X getting mine installed. Did you have a dust seal Installed as the bit on the tailgate had to come off. As it would be hoot know if the rubber seal could be retro fitted
@@VideoShowMeHow sorry meant Line X are installing my hurricane fabrication storage as we speak. So did you have a dust seal rail on top as I’m going to need to Macgyver something as the dust seal had to be removed. I can’t remember if you had one or not.
@@SargeNurseOffRoading ahhhh, yeah there was a little strip there from factory at the top of the tailgate but was more so there for the channel to slide the factory plastic cover into place
I love the idea of the tailgate storage but it seems very small for the $$ and I wo nder how much it weighs? Just dont know if I would justify the weight and cost for the benefits, but if I had a gun to lock away that sure would be handy . . . . ,maybe I should get a gun!? :-)
Excuse all the hassle mate. But I was wondering, at around the 6 minute mark, I see you claim that you have finished the grinding process but there are still little bits of blue that haven't been cut out according to the template? Did u get these cut out with a dremel or something? Seemed like that part was just skimmed over. Cheers
Yeah for mine some of the little notches didn't seem to need cutting out (I actually forgot about them when I did the first test fit and only a couple of them hit and needed removing). To cut the notches, cut in both sides with grinder then a set of pliers to the line, grip and move up and down till the metal breaks off and voila 👌
@@VideoShowMeHow ahhh interesting. Fantastic thanks! What's your view on installing without using sika?? Just worried about this thing getting in the way of replacing the rods or working on them and once it's all sika flexed in, my guess is that it's never coming out? Hoping to never have to take it out but you know how it goes
@@alwynvanderlinde9507 I would definitely be using the sika, that's what is going to give most of the strength. You can access the latch side no probs, if you were concerned the other end could always add a zip tie or something
Another neat install Adam 😁👍🏽. My back pocket is not liking this one bit 😅. My anxiety just went up ten fold when the angle grinder came out. Too rich for my blood this one that and zero balls and confidence 😂. Think the wife would file for divorce if I start cutting up the XT beforr evem getting it 😁.
Haha thanks mate. I did feel a little odd carting cut up bits of my almost new car out to the bins 😂 but loving the upgrade 👌 p.s the trick is to do the cutting when she's out! 😁
Great install Video. I will be interested to see how this goes. I have seen a few Amarok ones that have dented tailgates. They sit very close to the outside skin of the tailgate & when you stand on the tailgate or put a fair amount of weight on it loading the back of the ute up, it dents from the inside out.
@@VideoShowMeHow the clearance issues on The Amarok were at the back edge or the lower edge of the tailgate... See how it goes on the D-Max, as it may not happen on this model... Time will tell i guess.
If it is a problem I wonder if expander foam could help distribute load? I want one after seeing this vid. I'm a tradie and always walking on the tailgate so a little hesitant. Any updates?
@@VideoShowMeHow The arb canopy weather seal across the tailgate it's fixed to the inside by 45mm wide metal frame stopping just short of the moveable panel. The drop in tailgate box may need to sit on a 3mm 3 sided frame to compensate for the arb canopy fitting.

You got any tips on the latches. I’ve spent about 5 hours trying to get them to work. I get them working fine. Put storage onto and latch doesn’t open or disconnects the rods. I’ve loosened them off same thing or they don’t work. They originally sent me 2017 arms and instructions. So I’ve got no 2021 instructions on the handle
Hmmm are they touching the box? There's no residue etc left and the box sits flush? I had to cut out the extra bit in the middle as the handle for the central locking just hit and needed a bit more room
Yeah I dunno I give up. Spent 3 hours trying to get them to work today and still no luck. Get it to work about 4 times then the latches stop working or fall off

Thank you Adam for making has aware of this product. So many uses. I have ordered one because of your flog. Thanks Karl
Just leting you know I have just ordered this from our local distributor in the ACT because of these great videos. Thanks for the inspiration!
Great bit of kit 👍
You make it look so simple Adam." I’m having a nightmare thinking of cutting into my new car……., great bit of kit …..
The more you slice and dice the easier it gets haha
Seriously though, if you just take your time, lots of standing back and double checking and you're laughing
Good evening everyone 😎👍🇦🇺

Amazing! I am getting it done in my hilux❤

Hey man
Was just seeing if hurricane has brought out that gas strut kit yet?
Keen on it and happy to go through your links :)
Hey mate unsure, drop them a line 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow will do, have bought a lot of stuff through your links, hope it helps 👍🏻
Good channel mate keep it up 👍🏻
Nice job Adam!
Thanks mate!
Really nice clean mod. I have been thinking about doing this and was waiting for the discount code!

Nice staff but lot of work man 😜 I M scared to that 😂😂😂. If is older car no worries. But new one 🥹
Hi Adam, nice video.
After a year of use, any further thoughts?
Any water ingress? Hard to tell how it seals from the vid.
So far so good. Only thought would be stronger gas struts but not a big deal. Glad it's installed couldn't have one without now!
Hi no issues with the HSP tail gate lock installed just a lil bit of extra cutting as per video instructions?

All stainless mate. Unsure if they have a rack, worth dropping them an email 👍

Another awesome vid mate! I’m also looking at the tailgate central locking. Would I need to do that first or it doesn’t matter?
Could do either way, but I'd suggest doing the central locking first so it's in and you know what you're working with

damn would have been perfect now with my morning coffee, I have this on order! Whens the DP follow up coming?
Perfect timing! Likely a couple months, few things happening, and need to redo
Nice video again Adam. I noticed something attached to the back of you right hand swing box. Is it a light? Sorry, maybe someone has asked this question before.
Yep sure is, one of the kickass light stocks 👍
@@VideoShowMeHow thanks Adam. Just ordered. Using the magnetic mount to hold in place?
@@tphallett no had some mag light screw on holders I used. There's threaded inserts in the back of the boxes as well
Would a towing tongue fit in there and allow the lid to close?
No too wide unfortunately
Hey is there is a discount code or something we can use for this? Obviously keen for a discount and to support the channel. Cheers
Hi mate, what size weld removal drill bit did u use? Cheers
It's a 10mm, same as the one linked in the vid description 👍

Only question I have is can you still happily stand on the tailgate?
Yeah for sure, no probs

Can still access the handle etc, the box covering it is removable :)
