Exactly WHICH Greenwood peep saw me today?
(Black Taco, cargo cover on bed, plate front bumper)

 

Which company makes the best tailgate reinforcement?

 

Current mood in the batcave.

 

Morning!

 

Any of them they are all the same. It's just some steel or aluminum cut to the shape of the tailgate. Some you can get the caps that go over as well. Some are ribbed for pleasure and this has a little more strength to it.

Check out mountain hatch as well adds some rigidity but is made of heavy duty plastic that is food grade. Pretty cool.

Oh and all these will add a decent amount of weight to the tailgate so be prepared for that when you drop it.

 

Girlfriend and I are looking for a trail close to Greenville to ride out to with my Tacoma and her 4Runner. If anyone could point me in the right direction or let me know if a small group is going somewhere relatively close

 

Oh ok.. I looked at mobtown and relentless Fab..

 

Greenville Pickens Motorsports complex it's all easy trails. It's a new off-road park behind the circle track there. Their hard trails to me are easy as well it's got some brush and stuff overhanging the trails though.

 

I see your question and raise you “at a reasonable price”!

 

But what is a reasonable price for you? I seem to remember someone recently getting a streamline then turning around and getting a hybrid bumper

Oh and for @Jeffvt0508 that comment should be who makes one on a I got a newborn baby at home and momma ain't working right now budget.

 

That sounds like Adam, used to have an account here. No longer a member.

 

Fair enough, but I can sell my streamline to recoup costs and I ain't gonna get jack for the factory swap on the tailgate!! Most I've seen are $200+! Can't get myself to pull the trigger on that!!

 

Just make your own aluminum and a fine tooth jigsaw blade trace factory skin and get to cutting. Use sander/files to clean up and get just right done! Cheaper than buying someone elses and you did it.

 

I was thinking relentless Fab because it is molded to tailgate... Thought about using rivots to hold Velcro onto plastic tailgate or if I went steel. Use magnetic strip

 

Yeah they have the tailgate cap built in. I got a Voodoo tailgate cap for free so I'll be making my own skin. If you want to reuse the plastic skin just go to the hardware store and pick up some longer bolts then you could just bolt the factory platsic along with the metal all down together in the factory holes. The plastic cap will not be able to be reused.

 

I didn't know voodoo made some too

 

They just make the cap they don't make the skin. You'd have to get the skin from someone who makes the pieces seperate or go get your own metal and make your own like I described above.

 

Like Eddy? Lol
