Hey guys and gals. I've had my 1009 for 3 years now and every once in a while if i parked on uneven terrain my tailgate wouldn't close right. The right side latch would bang into the striker. I shimmed it out a bit and I was good to go.
Now, after a camping wheeling weekend. (just forest service roads) the dang thing has a gap on one side too far to shim out the striker. I got it closed finally with alot of shimming and only about 3 threads of bolt holding the striker.
Is there a way to adjust the tailgate itself? I can't find any obvious reason that the gap has grown wider and won't be back home for a couple weeks but I have anotheer camping trip planned for the day after i get home and want to fix the tailgate with a quickness so I can use my rig.
Thanks in advance.
Doug
