    Yup that's what I did. Nothing wrong with that part. I just thing there are other options. Around my parts folks aren't out n about trying to steal tailgates. So $1.50 well spent.

    I have bought 2 Tailgate Anti-theft devices and can tell you it's a great product. A lot of craftsmanship has been put into this device.

    they work well, but every thief has a screw driver, the reason I started making the anti theft device is because I got tired of looking at that cheap ass $150 hose clamp on my nice ass truck.
    But I did have one for a few years, lol

    I can honestly say that this device works and works well.
    I was at a work site removing materials from my truck and when I came back down my tailgate was open and both side cables were off.
    If it weren’t for this device , I would be buying a new tailgate. I’m glad I bought one along with the anti theft bolt!

    Worth every penny!

    Thanks again Chris!

    Quoting so I can find the order info.
    What's the factory Torq screw? T40? I am going to try taking it off first, before ordering. If it does not move, I plan to soak it in Kroil overnight and try again. Next step would be a T40(?) socket on a 2ft breaker bar.

    Yes the screw is a T40.. I used a 1/2 breaker bar and a little heat from small torch and the stock one came right out.

    I agree, I can see the clamp is either laser or waterjet cut by a CNC, is nicely made not a home made thing at your garage.
    Christian you have to ignore those have NOT made a thing in their life, and think that other people's labor is free.
    I wonder if they ask why fishermen charge money for fish they caught in the ocean for "Free"

    Why so negative my friend, haven't you heard that if you haven't anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
    Hope you have a wonderful evening.

    You missed my joke!! The "that guy" witn a :) was literally referring to the person who never believes these things when there's no reason to doubt it other than to be a troll! Which ironically is how you interpreted it!

    I'll order one of the devices when my truck arrives! I had one of the ugly hose clamps on my 2nd gen. I love the beefy solution.
