    did some tailgate reinforcement on my 06. Was cracked and flexing really bad. Super rigid now. Square tube inside top of tailgate and angle iron on bottom with some angle cross braces. :welder:image.jpg

    Interesting mod, MXscott14. I always feel like sitting on the tailgate will warp it or something. I weigh about 200lbs, so if anybody else were to sit on the tailgate at the same time, well...
