[@ka.powered8328]

Keep grinding boys!!👍💪

[@3RAN7ON]

Great video! My plastic rod clips broke on the tailgate and I can't find those clips for the life of me!

[@FlakeGarage]

yeah I don't think I have seen just the plastic clips for sale before, you might have to get a new handle

[@hosoiarchives4858]

The handle I bought from your link did not fit the rods. Looking for something else
Edit I found someone else and it worked! Thanks a ton

[@smithville1stumctx]

Ebay has them for $10.00 with free shipping!

[@FlakeGarage]

That’s a good deal, worth picking it up if yours is broken

[@grapplerguy2007]

clean truck , is a spray in bedliner in the works on this baby. mainly due to so much surface rust. i really Like the clean look of the truck .

[@FlakeGarage]

We def want to do a bedliner on it but the bed needs some work before we can. Bryan also is planning to paint the truck

[@xobxx5150]

you guys should do a spray in bed liner in the hardbody

[@FlakeGarage]

That’s one of the plans for it

[@reyrey7012]

Great videos 💯💯💯👍🏽 can you do a video on power steering conversion.

[@FlakeGarage]

We don’t have any of the components unfortunately. If we end up coming across some we’ll try to do it

[@weekendhomeprojects]

Increased the value by at least $2k

Out of curiosity, what's a good way to lift a 2000 frontier? Thanks for the video too.

[@FlakeGarage]

If the suspension is like the hardbody, you could probably turn your torsion bars up a bit and perhaps change the leaf for a lifting leaf spring
