What's this gonna cost?

I backed into my parking spot at my apartment and the fucking bushes along the fence totally fucked up my tailgate. I was barely rolling. Anybody had to replace a tailgate and what did it cost? It opens and closes fine...just the sheetmetal is screwed.

 

500 new tail gate at junk yard

 

FUCK that sucks!

 

Damn, those bushes must be made of steel

 

I know. I couldnt believe that much damage occurred. I was barely moving.

 

Dang, they are all over craigslist around me for anywhere from $100 to $350.

 

If it's just the sheet metal, take off the inside bed liner and just pounding with a rubber mallet. You got nothing to lose at this point.

 

WTF

 

Looks like you nailed a fairly thick branch that had been cut off and left sticking out of the trunk. You can see the impact point just below and to the left of the handle...

 

Yeah i back into the bush everyday. I stop when the leaves hit the tailgate. But today i went prob 6 inches into it. I really cant believe it.

 

Get a tire gate ​

 

paint your hubs! HAHAHA

 

Im thinking about one of those "net gates" from the 90's

 

Yah, but you could do almost that much damage with just your knee!
