Good deal. Shouldn't last long.

 

Very interested pming

 

Sorry guys. I already bought it!

 

Sold.

 

Didn't you just sell one?

 

I sold a steel one. This one is aluminum. I wouldn't have bought this one, but I'm already driving up there this weekend to buy his Super Topper.

I forgot how cheep the tailgate feels without the plate. I always regretted not getting the aluminum version.

If you must know...

 

Thanks! The steel is much heavier, especially when you accidentally drop the tailgate. Aluminum is much better.

Congrats on the upgrade!

 

@HolyHandGrenade

Why did you regret not getting aluminium from the start?

 

Wow... this is a blast from the past lol. At the time, I liked the aluminum better because it was lighter.

Now, my truck is 6300 lbs all loaded up to wheel. I wouldn’t care either way.

 

Have you now owned/used both versions? I am curious about how much more of a pain in the arse the steel will be vs. aluminum. We are installing a Go Fast Camper soon and want the best tailgate $ can get us as we will be using it much more frequently than when we slept in tents. I have always hated how cheap the OEM tailgate feels. I would prefer to go steel for strength, but if it's unbearable, maybe aluminum is the answer...

Side note: We will be pulling this bad boy closed from inside as that's how you seal up the camper. So I wonder if the weight savings is worth the difference in strength? Thanks for your help!

BTW, Sick rig!

 

Thank you.

I have used both. The aluminum is plenty strong. If pulling it closed from the inside, I personally would go with the aluminum one.

I have the aluminum one. One of the best purchases for my truck to date. I have beat the hell out of it, and have been very pleasantly surprised at how well it has held up. Would highly recommend it to anyone on the fence...
