    I just did the one side so far as it was getting late in the day.
    This is the second pop & lock that has failed on me. I refuse to buy another one. This mod is perfect. Thanks again.

    Very ingenious, not too difficult to do and will help thwart the lazy deadbeat thieves :)

    Just wanted to add on here how awesome this idea is.
    I have a diamondback cover and so it works amazingly to fully lock the bed up in my second gen. Highly recommend over wiring and crappy plastic handles that most aftermarket handle locks use.
