Group buy: Pop N Lock Tailgate Lock (Ends April 08, 2009)

Daniel,

To be 19 and still in school, I am very impressed. You wrote a very well written letter to P&L and showed a lot of maturity. Doing this GB and handling these sums of monies that don’t belong to you shows that you are a very responsible person. You have also shown great communications skills and a solid work ethic with all of this.

When you get out of school and start looking for a job, let me know, I will gladly be a reference for you. Not very many 19 year olds I have seen have shown these skills at the levels you have.

I can't say Thank you enough!

 

Man oh Man has this turned in to a circus, what a PAI for you DGerm. Hope this doesn't discourage you from future group buys.

But just to confirm are the PL5200s on the way?

 

Thnak you for the kind words. You were the first person to pay as well!

 

FWIW... I got sick of waiting for Pop & Lock to release the 5300 so on Sunday i ordered the Dynolock... I just got home, and it was sitting in the mailbox... 4 days from order to delivery...

I have T-Ball lessons with my son tonight, so I'll install it it tomorrow or Saturday... I'll be sure to take pics and start a new thread with a review...

very interested with your review.

 

i had the dynolock and i wasn't very happy with it. it didn't lock right for me, i was sent three different ones, the last one was modified further for the 09 w/ backup camera. i know other people are very satisfied with it though, but it just wasn't doing it for me. i am also curious how you review it.

 

Ok I had an exam at 7:45 am today, passed out afterwards and will get to work on a finalized pay list

 

Hope it went well for you. I remember the Exam Days, when all you want to do is sleep or party afterward.

 

09taco,

I agree I had/have the dynolock and it STINKS...it does NOT operate the locking mechanism but just places a bolt in the way to "block" the handle travel preventing the latch to open....the P&L actually activates the locking mechanism and is an "active" locking mechanism. I posted that a few posts back and on tundrasolutions.com....I think mudfish is gonna be VERY suprised and disappointed with dynolock...and many of them have reportedly even stopped working.

 

Daniel, I am glad that we now have a tentative date. I can wait. Thanks Daniel

 

Installed it today... it is a very simple solution, and is working as it should... I have a soft tonneau so locking the tailgate is really only a way to slow down a criminal... I am really looking for a way to keep nosey kids and curious people from peeking into the bed... I rarely carry anything other than my golf clubs back there...

So far this seems to be exactly what I expected, and I'll post long term updates...

 

Hmm yeah, I also have a soft tonneau cover, all it takes is someone to walk by with a knife and a bad attitude...I mostly want the pop and lock so people aren't walking off with my tailgate. We've had issues with tailgates being stolen...

 

Yup...soft tonneau here as well. Couple things to note:

One way to steal things is to look like you own it. The more suspicious you look, the more attention you'll get. Pretty suspicious if you see someone slicing open a tonneau covver.

Plus, they would have to have a knife. A curious kid passing by is not likely to have a knife handy to slice open the cover.

If someone wants in bad enough, they'll get past a hard topper or shell pretty easily.

 

Hey guys, exams are over, all money has been collected, now I am double checking the spread sheet. I will post it and give you all a day to look it over then place the order.

 

thanks! hope you did well on ur tests

 

Ditto, hope you did well! Thanks again!

 

Right on! This waiting time is soon to end...

 

Whoo! We might actually get these within a couple weeks, finally.

 

whoop whoop!!!!
