    Smashed mine....

    My plan is to get an aftermarket one...reinforce it..then have a body shop paint to match, and switch over the badging. I will swap all the hardware myself.

    What aftermarket tailgates are decent?

    Why not get a used one from a junk yard reinforce and paint it?

    I have never heard of an after market tailgate. Unless you would count a home made one as after market...
