    Steel heats up waaaay faster than aluminum in the direct sun. Aluminum does not get too hot actually. I would take aluminum over steel for a tailgate cap.

    I wanted to support a smaller startup business but after my experience would not recommend this company to a friend. They sent the wrong product. Website has no email or phone number, only an online message box. Sent them 3 messages with no response. Customer service is- not existent. Now I have 4ft cutting board in my closet. Recommend you go with another brand.

    Thanks man. I’m a machinist so I figured how hard could it be ? I’m just realizing now that this is 3rd gen thread but mine is a 2nd gen. Oops

    Very clever, great job! Is the plastic hard enough to stand/seat on it? Durable?

    Looking forward to hearing about this. I'll probably grab the mountain hatch on their Labor Day sale if this FB option doesn't pan out. Fingers crossed.
