Tail Gate Assist (SR5) ?

[Canufixit]

I need to look into this so I can remove the stupid electronic part of the tailgate, I’d like to close it myself, but I think mine has the damper on it so maybe I can just remove the motor

I'd think that removing the Right Tail light (2 qty of 10mm Bolts?) and pull perpendicular to the center line of then truck - you should get a good view of what you need to do easily ... Maybe just Disconnect the linkage and Electric plug and safely wrap/protect from damage rattles?

I am guessing that if you disconnect the tailgate motor you will have warnings to deal with too. It would be nice if you could just turn it off and use it manually because sometimes waiting for it to do its thing seems kind of silly.
