Tuff Terrain tailgate assist kit fits straight onto the LDV T60 and takes the sting out of dropping the tailgate. Twin gas struts slow the swing, which keeps the cables and hinges from copping full weight every time you open up. Steel brackets mount off the factory holes to keep the setup neat, meaning you keep your original tailgate layout while the gas struts handle the heavy lifting.

Gas-charged struts control the motion in both directions as they manage the load through the full tailgate arc. Solid steel hardware stands up to regular use from the bush to the beach, which makes this kit a smart buy for work utes and touring rigs. The included brackets and fixings match the LDV layout to keep alignment spot on. The instructions walk you through each step, from driver side fitment to final cable routing.

Q: Does this tailgate assist kit fit all LDV T60 models?

A: Yes, this kit suits LDV T60 utes built from 2017 to 2022. The brackets line up with the factory tub and tailgate mounts on these models. If your vehicle sits outside these years, this kit may not match the bolt pattern. Always check your build year and any previous tailgate modifications before ordering.

Q: Do I need to drill any new holes in the tailgate or tub?

A: No, the kit uses existing mounting points on the LDV T60. The brackets pick up on current hinge and cable bolts, which keeps the tub and tailgate structure intact. This approach helps maintain factory sealing and corrosion protection. Standard hand tools usually handle the install, apart from any special tools needed to remove stubborn factory bolts.

Q: Can the gas struts be replaced later if they wear out?

A: Yes, the gas struts use bolt-on ends that you can remove and replace. The brackets stay on the vehicle, which makes future strut swaps straightforward. Matching-length replacements keep the correct motion and load share. Always depressurise and dispose of old struts according to local guidelines.

Q: Will the kit stop the tailgate from closing completely?

A: No, the struts support and control movement while still letting the tailgate close and latch normally. The brackets position the struts to follow the standard arc of the tailgate. Once shut, the latch and factory seals still handle the closure. Regular checks of bolts and cable routing help keep motion smooth.

Q: Are any special tools required for installation?

A: Special tools may be needed to remove existing bolts or clips, depending on how your tailgate hardware was fitted. Some vehicles use thread-lock or tight clearances, which can make removal harder. Checking your current setup before you start helps you line up suitable sockets or levers. If in doubt, a mechanic or accessory fitter can complete the install.
