    I tried stealing my own tailgate afterwards. I couldn’t do it so I guess it works.

    Dam that sucks, hit the center of the screw with a center punch one good hard time, that may break it loose enough to back it out

    It’ll fit really well if I can ever get that screw out.

    I read somewhere on here that some (I guess only some) of the gates have the bolts tack welded to prevent removal. I don't know what years, etc so YMMV, I just remembered seeing it when I read a few "can't get the bolt out" posts in a row.

    Hope you all get it figured out whatever's holding it up. GL

    cool, idea and i am interested. can the bolt be removed to remove the bracket with standard tools? I would think some sort of security bolt head makes sense here, or am i missing the point?

    It can, but one would need to know the exact size bolt prior to stealing your tailgate. Also, removing that bolt is not an easy task. It will take much longer to remove than the hose clamp idea and much much longer than having nothing on there.

    thanks for explaining.
    I buy security head bolts/nuts online for external screws. I have my roof rack, and bumper lights all using them to slow down thieves any way I can. So far so good.

    I think a security screw would be an excellent idea, I may put one on mine
