Jaguar man 21 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Fyi for anyone looking to get this kit, amt put way to short of a tailgate in this release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Kourouklis Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yup, looks like the Flareside tailgate got mixed up in this release. You're not the only one with that problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hall Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Yep, got mine today. Never had the Lightning version before. Has the flare side tailgate. I think I have a spare long bed '93 I bought for parts a while back, can use the tailgate from it (or was the Lightning tailgate trim unique) ?

Jordan White Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 Oof, I wonder how that got past QC? Though does anyone know if the flare side tailgate was on the same sprue or a different one than the regular bed tailgate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

av405 Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) That’s a big mistake. But if they have the Flareside tailgate tooled up, does that mean we can expect a Flareside re-release in the future?

SVT Lightning owners loved their trucks, for all the reasons cited in that review The second gen Lightning, even more-so. I clearly recall that just as the article mentions, the lack of legroom in the first gen standard cab was really the only shortcoming of that vehicle and in the light of all the other benefits, not much to complain about. Someday before I die I'll recap the adventures during my first media event as the SVT leader when one of our Marketing/Public Affairs personnel got a little carried away driving an SVT Lightning the morning of the event.... makes me smile now. Back then, not quite so much. TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suprafastcelica Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Just a FYI for everyone on the tailgate issue. Email Round2, they know of the issue and have a list they will put you on to get the correct one sent to you once available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSNJim Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I was looking at the box bottom at Hobby Lobby, and the narrow tailgate is actually shown on the sprue layout on the bottom. It is directly across from the hood. When (and if) AMT fixes it, will they correct the box bottom too? I hope so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Againmikewins Posted January 1, 2019 Share Posted January 1, 2019 I got mine today and the Flareside tailgate is on the sprue and full width tailgate is in a separate bag all by itself. Anyone know why the kits tires are blank instead of Goodyear or some kind of Firestone tires? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've heard that the F-250 rails were used, I remember when I looked at one at the dealer back when, one of the mechanics said the frames were from trucks designated for snow plow fitting. Not sure if that is the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
