Tailgate power lock?
I just upgraded my crusty stock tailgate to an 08 gate! I'm thrilled!!! I found a matching gate locally and sold my stocker the following day! But now comes the security question...
I did put a hose clamp around the slider, and it would certainly slow down a potential thief, but that's not enough to keep me from worrying about it walking away. I try to keep it locked, but that can be a PITA if I'm in-and-out of it frequently.
I'd like to be able to lock/unlock it with my fob.
I've seen the "pop-&-lock" out there and it's exactly what I want... but the $100 price tag seems a tad high to me. Are there any other products I should consider? Or should I just buy the P-&-L?

YES... I did. (and there were a few things in there I don't care to repeat 
)
Here's a link to eTrailer's P&L Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Lock - Power - Black Pop and Lock Locks PAL8250
Found it a bit cheaper @ Amazon:

I have a power lock on my tailgate, put it on years ago. It is wired into the door lock wires so anytime the doors get locked so does the tailgate. I got it at Summit racing and it was no where near $100. Here is a link to one, and yes it will work on the '08. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/hfm-tl8/overview/
If you do a search on Summit they also have some nice lock set-ups that beat the hell out of the hose clamp, which anybody can take off.
