    I believe that this is a 2nd Gen tailgate. I ordered it from Amazon a couple weeks ago and it arrived like this. It was supposed to be an undamaged 1st gen tailgate... that seller really dropped the ball on this one. The seller gave me a full refund and didn't want the tailgate back.

    I do not want this thing lying around and would like to send it to a good home. I wasn't sure if I could post it in the marketplace because I intend to "sell" it for free. Just want to help someone out.

    I'm want to part with it for free, but all shipping costs and associated fees must be covered by the "buyer". I honestly have no idea how to even ship this tailgate. Maybe someone could send me a prepaid label? I suppose the buyer should have a plan for shipping execution. This may not even be worth the cost of shipping. If you guys believe that, let me know and I will simply trash it. I just wanted someone to have a fair shot at using it if it was even semi-salvageable.

    Definitely not a 2nd gen tailgate. A 2nd gen tailgate will have a bunch of rectangle holes in the top edge and the handle area will be a lot more recessed. In my opinion, that tailgate is junk. The amount of work it would take a body guy to fix it is more than a new OEM tailgate, and that's probably an aftermarket tailgate. My tailgate was no where near that bad, and the body shop told me to buy a new one.

    That’s all I needed to hear. To the trash it goes.
