that and it cuts down on the rattles like the hpx has with the bars although the bars ar alot stronger they do make some noise when they loosen up.

Went and looked and it does have cables.....they prob put those little cables on them to discourage putting too much weight on the tailgate....

The nice drop on my butt with the cooler bouncing next to me worked to discourage that from me. Actually, if I'm not mistaken, Polaris and Yamaha said that they sized the cables to where they would break before the tailgate itself would break. The logic being that the cables would be less expensive to replace than an entire tailgate. I can't say that I fault that logic. Still, it broke a cooler and bruised my arse.

man thats bad most people like to park next to a pond /bayou or river and fish off the bed while sitting on the tailgate just like a truck .old rhino gonna get sued with a logic like that.lol

thought what if I have a load in the bed??? Won't it just start dumping???? After mulling over it awhile I noticed they took the manuel lock off that it had on it from the factory.....I asked for it back so if this cylinder won't hold I can lock the bed down.....The bad thing about that is if it's locked down it'll be real easy for someone to hit the dump switch and tear up something.....

Just need some opinions....is this suppose to be this way??????

I have never said on the tail gate to see if that happens. Mine has never rose up on it's own though when I had a load in the bed. I would NOT put that lock back on there though. If someone hits the switch, you are going to tear stuff up.

as for as the lock you can go to a lawn mower shop and get one of them cutoff switches that fit under the seat . you know the ones that cut the engine off if you get up and rig it up to the lock it would be really simple to do it would kill the power going to the power dump unless you have the bed lock undone simple fix.

Good point Tommy, you could just put a "push button" type switch under that bed lock to cut the power if the lock is in position. That would work.

yea they sell them at sear or any mower repair shop or you problably have one sitting on the old mwer in the shed that you don't need . just wire it up to the bed lift that way when the locking lever is locked the switch is not depressed that way the power going to the bed lift will be killed and if you wanna lift the bed just unlock the bed and the lever will depress the switch and walla you got power going to the bed lift again. this way you can have the power bed lift with the "peace" of mind that if you got your kids riding in the back that bed is not gonna go any place.
