    Sorry, where I'm from they all speak like Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Caribbean (or the High Tiders on the Outer Banks) so you'd just trade hillybilly for pirate, that and I'm about as sophisticated as a brick through a window.

    Maybe from the angle of the photo you posted it is creating an illusion, however, I am wondering how much of a gap you have on the left vs. the right. Do you have photos of the top? Have you noticed an uneven gap on one side when compared to another? Thanks.

    I don’t own a tundra but here’s another pic. It’s a fairly common complaint early on

    Mine binds up when it's hot out. I also noticed one of my cables is loose vs the other one is tight.

    Anyone else notice their cables?

    Sounds like a quick warranty item.

    Yeah, mine are like this as well, one side has a tiny bit of slack in it with the gate open. It could be the cable is slightly longer or it could be related to the attachment points on each side. Either way, it's fairly common to see on trucks.

    I don’t think I ever would have noticed without reading it here, but mines off about an 1/8” and I can’t unsee it now
