Tailgate
I was wondering if anyone has used a new aftermarket tailgate. I have heard that there is some fabrication needed for it to work. I am haveing trouble finding an original in good shape. Thanks for any tips.

Re: Tailgate
i have heard that they dont hold up to any abuse what so ever and if you use your tailgate often they say they tend to twist from being slammed on a routen bases i have never used or had one myself so maybe someone else on here that has one, can agree or disagree with my post.

Re: Tailgate
I have not used one, but I have seen people here report problems with them. One person said he dented his with his hand while slamming it shut. The other I remember was someone who said his buckled in the middle when he stepped on it.
