    Any fitment issues a lot of Amazon reviews say the SaBellco don’t fit?

    @christian06 any pics of your 2nd gen ones?

    Amazon reviews say the master lock ones can be bent to allow tailgate removal.

    The tailgate theft isn’t big here that I know of but it’s kinda like insurance.
    Pay up hoping you don’t need it!!!

    It fits, however mine didn't fit tight enough. It could be moved up and down, so I JB'd the inside of it and the end of the locking screw. If somebody wants the gate bad enough, they could get it, but It's going to take them a while.

    Good to know!
    If someone wants it bad enough the only thing stopping them is an actual person!

    Sorry about your tailgate man!
    Hope it works out for you and your helping keep another one safe!
    I’m getting the christian06 sells.
    Using just a key of some sort is convenient but I rarely pull the gate.

    @christian06
    Got my bracket today.
    It’s beefy for sure.
    Also very well done.

    Sand and paint just have to install when dry.
    Thank you it was easy doing business with you:thumbsup:

    Had a hard time getting my ratchet and torx bit in there as the bumper caps was in the way. They’d need to have a allen style torx to get it out or rip the bumper caps.

    I was checking to see if I had the tools needed after letting chritian06 know I wanted one.
    Looked like I didn’t until I raised the gate upwards.
    The torx becomes more accessible or so it looks.

    I needed to raise the tail gate off the hinge to even get to the bolt. Tailgate has to be on the hinge to fit the device in. I was able to squeeze in a thin ratchet with the torx bit but had to align the torx bit with the bolt to even squeeze that in. I also used blue loctite followed by silicone sealant on the bolt head to hide the torx slot.

    Ya I didn’t actually try it not sure I have the right torx even.
    If I don’t have what’s needed I’ll look at work or buy what seems should work.
    Having done it anything out there to make it easier?
    But being on the hard side to install makes it harder to remove!

    It just takes some jimmying to get it all in place. I picked my tailgate up, kinda loose fit it on, than put the entire assembly in and tightened it down.
