    No problem. You can check out the picture and video in my sig to see what to do. Its really simple to install. All you need is a 1/8th drillbit and a crimp tool One end was uncrimped in the baggy and is intended for the finger hole end. The other you will loop through the finger lever up top. You will need to drill a hole in it too. Takes more time to fish it through the grill brace then it does to drill the holes.

    bump I had 4 left not 3. Just sold one so now I have 3 left. Let me know if you guys need them. You can print the picture from my sig and use it to install the cable. Thanks. Crap no sig link to the picture. I'll fix that. Or I think I posted the picture in an earlier post in this topic. ok found the picture. So I'll post it again here.

    Oh and an update I finally got my Tacoma but now miss the power of the Dakota.... lol I bought an 02 used taco pretty clean truck but needs a tailgate.

    Not sure if he's contacted you or not, but a guy on here is looking for some sort of release cable setup (screen name Landon). We told him about your setup in here.

    Not yet but thanks for the heads up. I have to get more of the cable. And trying to think if a better way to do the loop. Maybe do some kind of rubber tube to make it feel better. I will have to experiment. Finally figured out how to embed the video....
