    Got mine. corner bent from shipping but no big deal to straighten out. Had a nice curve to it so I flipped it, propped it where the bow would solve itself. Maybe I'll have 5 minutes of free time to install it soon................

    I ordered the plain skin (new batch) and it arrived Friday. The skin was well packed, but it also had a curve to it (see previous message). I installed it and it was a prefect fit. The tailgate has some heft to it now! Joe: you have a quality product - thanks.

    Not worried about the curve. Most likely just from coming off a roll of steel. My concern is with this and the hi-lift jack I'm going to have to get my 4 leaf packs on the truck so the 3 leaf packs don't go to sagging from adding them, lol..............

    You're exactly right, roll of steel causes curve but since it bolts down it is no concern. I make sure the part is pulled flat when on the plasma table for accuracy. And yes, it sure does add a little weight, I have one on my 4 banger with a tailgate cap as well.

    26lbs total.

    Working on pics installed on truck, will try to get them tomorrow or Wednesday. Weather has not been cooperative lately here in the Northeast and I've been swamped with orders.

    I'm planning to buy the ribbed tailgate skin from www.mobtownoffroad.com, but I'm curious if anyone has any seen any bending after using theirs? Has anyone loaded a motorcycle or similar concentrated weight to the tailgate with the flat or ribbed skin installed?

    Also, does anyone have the tailgate cap installed and have a photo?
