    Hi everyone,

    I just want to thank @christin06 for a fast delivery .

    I got my tailgate stolen 2 times . So now I’m using christin06 antitheft device. I added a little JB weld on it . Give anyone who trying to take it has to fight to take it off.

    Add a "@" at the front of his name and he will be notified someone "tagged" him.

    Is the JB Weld applied to keep a would-be thief from trying to pry it off?

    I put JB Weld in the socket screw heads on mine. Slows down the thievery process if their tools won't fit. If I take my tailgate off - I'll just have to deal with it.

    when I order it from @christian06 i also order a security bolt. I just added the JB weld for additional security measures. Trying to
    Make it as difficult as I can. Not only would they have to try and unbolt they would have to pry it off. To much work hopefully.

    Not "if", "when". That plastic hinge bushing is a wear item and will need replacement a few times over your truck's life.

    I've had mine since 2006, and it still works great, maybe it's the assist kit that keeps it from wearing out

    ^The plastic hinge bushing likes to wear out on 3rd gens.

    Yes, you can melt off JB weld with a small torch . I thought about that as well. I don’t mind doing a little extra work to take it off .
