Always be carefull when fiddling with the taillights on a wagoneer. I had the tailgate open and the metal "locking" rods locked. I was leaning around to tighten the nut to the taillight housing, and my chest bumped the tailgate brackets and the tailgate sprung up and you guessed it.
POW!!!! A few choice words and i rushed inside to see if i need stitches. I got nailed by the cam that catches the body tub and holds the tailgate closed. That is alot of weight crashing into your head. Thank God I removed all the inner stuff to the tailgate or i would have probably been KO'd

That looks painful, but a good thing you're ok otherwise!

I'll be honest, blood or no I'd have kicked the darn thing.

That's why a friend of mine told me to work as much as possible with a cap.. sorry for you, I know how it can hurt..
