  Not real excited

  First, the description says grease-able, so that, along with the price was why I chose this set of hinges. There are no zerks, so unless you consider applying grease around the joints of the hinge grease-able, they're not. The heads on the hardware are soft. Tightening the bolts on the lower hinge resulted in stripped hex socket in the bolt head. I e-mailed RT Off-Road and they replied immediately with the size. Didn't offer to replace, and when I inquired how to tighten them without stripping the head they didn't reply. I purchased two black chrome button head bolts for the lower hinges from the local hardware store and they tightened with no problem. They were $3.99 a piece, but I'm going to buy two more for the upper hinges. I couldn't tighten the bolts which came with the kit enough to keep the tailgate from sagging without stripping the heads. The finish doesn't seem to be very durable. They scratch easily. I'll find out long term. So, after having to drill out the old bolts and replacing them with harder bolts, which tightened just fine, not being grease-able, and concerns regarding the finish, I would opt for a different pair of hinges, but I didn't want to mess around with sending them back. Not hard to change, but the lower hinge at the tub is bolted to a bracket which is difficult to access, so rather than that dropping off when both bolts were out, we carefully did one bolt at a time.
