    My tailgate hinge is modified to accept the 3rd gen tailgate assist so my Anti theft devise doesn't fit, gotta make a special hybrid one for it

    Did you just use the 2016 hinge kit or piece it together from 2016+ parts?

    I went out in my driveway and tried it myself. Drove straight down to Ace and secured it in the parking lot for $4 and 4 minutes of my time. Thanks for the tip.

    I had the hose clamp for awhile but got tired of looking at that cheap ass looking thing, that was what led me to make the "Anti theft devise". For 15 bucks it's much stouter and much more pleasing to the eyes, just my .02

    It's sad that we even have to think about this possibility. Thanks for the solution.

    Thx, but it's just one of many solutions, there are some that actually lock but I hate keys. It's a bitch when you lose them, lol

    Wish I had done this on my old F250. I got one stolen at a movie theater & didn’t notice until I got out to check the mail!

    I've thought about making them for other trucks as well but I make so many other things that I'm almost ready to discontinue them altogether
