I’ve been using this exact model for a couple years, it’s awesome. I haven’t touched it since I installed it and it still records just like day 1.

 

As my parents used to say: “Going for a drive.”
We are well into the high minus twenties here, but it’s bright and sunny, so enjoying the scenery, and making sure our batteries are charged.

 

First oil change @ 2886 miles (dealership freebie) it’s -4 here I’m going to let it warm up before I go out and check level and anything else.

 

What’s this for? Couldn’t find the post

I put one on. Pretty easy, looks great, works great.

 

Do most people still install one of these even with a locking tailgate? My truck came with one that works with the fob.

 

I did. I don't have first-hand knowledge, but a number of people here on TW say those locks (even with the remote lock) are very easily busted/defeated with a screwdriver. Once the lock is defeated, it's only 10-20 seconds to walk away with the tailgate without an additional device like this.

 

Well, not exactly today… Christmas break.

Swapped out the suspension for 6112/5160 and Icon RXT. Debating the new Falken AT4 in 33’s.

 

Link?

 

I never said they were too bright

 

The anti theft device for your tailgate, I thought you were asking about it, I apologize

 

I got my Thin Blue Line aluminum emblem yesterday!

 

On the whole tailgate theft issue, I think that the perps want a quick steal. Open, unlatch, lift and gone. If they have to spend more than a few seconds getting the tailgate free, it's not worth it.

I used the hose clamp idea I saw earlier to make it impossible to get the gate off easily. If they really want it, they'll get it!

 

Call me ignorant but what do they want with my tailgate? Black market for them? Or Billy bro lift smashed his? What’s up with all this tailgate theft deterrent talk?

 

Yeah, I would say black market or just scrap metal. If something is easy to steal, someone out there will steal it. IMHO
