Tailgate replacement

I have been looking for a tailgate for 6 months. I refuse to pay 900 bones for one from Ford. Anyone know where to get a "good one"? I pull my 4wheeler up on ramps on the thing so I don't want something flimsy. Any recomendations?

Have you checked junkyards for one that is in good shape?

The other option is someplace like LMC but I am not sure what their price would be for one.

My favorite place for both tailgates and beds is the local service bed company. They seem to pull off more beds than they can haul to the junkyards. Usually their price is just a little more than scrap metal price on anything over 5 years old.
