    If it's close to the Tracy Ca. Area, I'd be glad to install it for free.

    Was more of a free bump for your bracket.
    I used a different solution 4 yrs ago.

    And it is a solid product! The tight fit is imperative so the tweakers cant get it off.

    When I first got my 2015 TACO I saw a vid on how easy it was to steal the tailgate. Got me a Gate Keeper Tailgate protector. Simple and elegant. Thought of hose clamp but this needs a special tool to get off. Yes, nothing is steal proof, but they will probably find an easier target first. Yea I know not too neighborly. Edit. Posted this before I saw christian06 product. That is definitely “beefier”.

    Please don't rely on that POS GateKeeper. Get christian06's product.

    That is why I edited my post. After seeing the Anti Tweaker device it appears to be a superior product. But like I said...nothing is “theft proof”.

    Anti tweaker seems offensive
    Especially since not all thieves are tweakers.....

    But I have heard
    All tweakers are thieves.

    How about.......


    Tweaker enhanced retention device

    The true name is Anti theft device, but it's been called many things, and if it offends some tweeker, I dont care.
