I eliminated their solution for grabbing the pins I welded a nut to a tiny pair of vice grips screwed it on the dent puller and that's what I use on mine
I am really enjoying all your metalwork with your thought process narration. You should set up a Dub restoration training shop and have paying people come in with their vehicles for training
Honestly that was excellent work both on the patching and pulling dents out. Replacing the hinged rail all together was not only a good decision for strength but you made it all come together with the excellent welds and connection to the old panels! A pleasure to watch! Thanks.
Looking at that tailgate, I think the section of the top rail where there is the dent with several what look like drill holes in it originally had a step on it. The other side has a step in about the same position so it would seem logical that there was one this side too which, presumably, has had the spot welds drilled out to remove it by the previous people and then either been lost like so many other parts of this double cab, or maybe is sitting in one of the boxes of bits that came with it…
Maybe long and slow but is necessary to show newcomers what's required. Love your work.
You'll find out in the end it's really no different than drilling a hole and using a conventional dent puller

If it was mine I would use solid 1 x 2 pcs think it would make straighter, firmer on gates
I saw a guy use a claw hammer to pull those rod to pull out dents
Great job!
To create the little valleys there exist special pull nippers.
Amazingly entertaining, I am so very glad I subd to this channel
