    Sure does. Switching to a less common screw head is a good idea as well!

    Hose clamps are a very weak deterrent:
    SaBellCo is a better deterrent, if @scleaf ever decides to make a 3rd gen model:

    This is a very common problem. I believe they stealing it for the backup camera. Lock your tailgate guys!

    There value seems to go up in areas where trucks magically lose their tailgates.


    Deterrent is all one wants. If you can delay the thief then chances are they will move on, if they are determined then they are getting what every they came for anyways.

    Your right.. waste of time posting!

    1. Lock your tailgate
    2. Clean out your friggin garage and use it for its intended purpose.

    I see them go for $600-$800 a tail gate locally in Houston. I assume they are stolen since not may people would sell a perfectly good tailgate.

    Most body shops have a ground guy that "gets parts"! You don't think they order parts for your vehicles do you? 9 times out of 10 it's for body shops .5 it's for a personal vehicle the rest is to sell for drug $$!
