BIG Farm Problems if we don't fix this!

What happens here

To facilitate the dumping and spreading of gravel, the dump truck's aluminum tailgate is removed. This process involves using a Milwaukee M18 FUEL impact driver equipped with a 1/2-inch socket and a long socket extender to loosen and remove the bolts securing the tailgate hinges. Once all bolts are removed, the tailgate is carefully lifted off the truck bed.

Goal: Remove the dump truck tailgate to allow for unhindered gravel dumping.
