    I’m gonna wait till I can break those bolts loose first before getting those powder coated brackets. I did take that plastic tailgate cover off (which was easy) and sprayed some WD40 on the bolts. No luck so far getting the bolts to let go. I already twisted two T40 drivers in half.

    Personally, I think this is well thought out and professionally designed/produced.

    Cheaper options for prevention exist for sure, but in a age of lower standards and quality it is nice to see the efforts made here.

    Nicely done man.

    :cheers:

    If you take the tailgate off and use an impact driver (the kind you hit with a hammer, not a drill) the T40 will come off easily.

    Simple and easy to install. The price is fair as well.

    I bought one of these awhile back, it showed up pretty quick and it’s high-quality.

    apparently, you don’t realize that even with the tailgate lock, the lock mechanism and latch can be overcome by the screwdriver in about 20 seconds.

    This “expensive metal piece” as you call it, will save your $1100 tailgate from being jacked.

    I suppose you are free to your opinion, but it would be smart if you REALLY thought about your opinion before you type. In this case you are completely uneducated regarding the topic.

    this piece you have made is a wonderful piece of security. Some people just don’t know what they don’t know.
