Re: Tailgate hard to move...suggestions?
That's what I heard about the Break-Free stuff. I went to the Ace hardware
store looking for it because it's website said it was there. Wasn't there so I picked up this Ace Lub-E Super Penetration Lubricant. I sprayed the crap out of the hinges and have been working the gate back and forth. After a few applications and about 5 hours, it is getting easier. I'll try it some more later tonight after the game.

Haha! Okay, I guess I deserved that one since the odds of getting a Jeep
