I currently use my dad's Ranger to haul my motorcycle around, but it'll be thrown in the truck. Should I worry about reinforcing the tailgate? The bike with all fluids is about 420lb.

 

Yes. I got a small crease from a small engine block that weighed about that much.

 

I've had more on my tailgate without issue, at least visibly. Lord Helmet just put his Relentless reinforcement plate on though and he had no visible damage either, until he took the OEM panel off and saw signs of damage on the inside of the tailgate.

I have a Relentless en route.

 

Good price BTW I would get the reinforcement tailgate. Mine showed early sign of bending already when I opened the tailgate to put the reinforcement plate in. Glad I bought it in time

 

Back to buying another Tacoma I see.lol

 

Get out ma head.

 

Got my new bull bar and side steps ordered, can't wait till they get here.

Also, I don't know how to use this search function, but I saw on here some member bought a seatbelt clip for the right side and installed it on the front seat, I wanted to touch base and ask for any tips for the install.

 

That's a single weight though, this would be split to about 210 front 210 rear. I weigh more than that and sit on my tailgate all the time.

 

I've had about 450 lbs on my tailgate, occupying 18" x 18" of contact. So you could be fine, but if you have the cash, I'd reinforce.

 

Money isn't the concern, I just think the reinforcement is ugly.

 

I think a bend tailgate on a new truck is uglier

 

With the bend over the tailgate lip? Or the whole thing in general? Because you can reinstall the factory plastic on top of Relentless' piece and all you have is the bend showing.

I'd think that a piece of plate aluminum or steel only underneath the factory plastic wouldn't be too expensive to have produced for you, and it'll give you extra rigidity without being visible at all.

 

Ahh, it was my understanding it had to exclude the stock plastic. That's good to hear!

 

Here's mine:
