This is a pic of my custom tail gate. M truck did not have one when i bought it so my dad made one for me. It has a 1'' by 1'' aluminum square tubeing frame. Then it has aluminum diamond tread on front and back. The letters were cut out using a plasma cam. Before he welded it up he wired in red trailer light bars.

I like lots of lights also. The ones on the bed rail is a good idea. I want to put some under the bed rail to shine inside the bed.
