    That is a good idea! Do you remember the diameter of the pipe you used?

    It's been a while since I made it. I would go out and measure it but my truck is at the dealership waiting for the frame replacement. Not expecting to get it back till mid June. At first I was going to make a steel sleeve that fit inside and would cover the slot in the hinge and be completely stealth but this was easier and I had the pipe on hand.

    That's also a good idea, a steel sleeve inside would be almost impossibe to cut. The reason I asked is I have the hose clamp on it & I'd have to take it off to measure it accurately. :thumbsup:

    For 400$ the dealer installed a tailgate lock on mine the first weekend of owning the truck, that monday someone tried to steal my tailgate, but failes it was well worth it.

    I think it's gotta be 2". That is a great idea, I think I might change my hose clamp to that.

    Wait, $400 to protect a possibly $400 part? What if they try to pick that lock and damage the lock , you'll have to shell out another $400?

    How do you know someone tried to steal and failed? Did they try to pick the lock or you just saw fingerprints?

    Yeah, I've had that way for four years. No problems yet, knock on wood. If it does happen, I'll probably trade it in for a 2016 with the lock factory installed. :D

    I find it odd the bed mat wasn't also missing o_O
    I mean you'd think they'd just take that too.

    It's the world we live in, it's easier to push a button to unlock a tailgate than having to use a key :rolleyes:

    A tailgate and a bed mat are a lot for one guy to carry.
