    Lots of guys are given you a hard time, but it seems like you need a real solution that’s practical for your active lifestyle. I think this is what you’re looking for:

    My favorite part of this whole alternate reality thread is that post #2 was probably the best answer even on a lease because if you put the hole through the tailgate cap, the replacement part would be about $90 when it's time to turn in the lease. Small price to pay to avoid the shame this thread has produced. I wish you luck OP, the world can be a tough place.

    When the saying "there is no such thing as a stupid question" gets challenged. Then, people spend time giving answers, a 20 page thread on how to close a tailgate. Humanity's future is in good hands:thumbsup:
