I wouldn't purchase that type. I've heard of too many people who have dumped themselves while using them.

Would you go for the aluminum bifold's? Think they run about $100. We use them for our ATV and they are great.

If I was in that situation, I'd go out to Home Depot get a 2x8x12 cut it in half miter cut the bottom and top, and put a HEAVY peice of metal on the top miter to hang onto the tailgate, it's cheap reliable and takes less then an hour to make, but that's what I'd do
