I just wanted to show my tailgate lock. So nobody can steal my rear gate in 13 seconds. (maybe 30 seconds now)

Are people actually having trouble with their tailgates running off?

A guy I was talking to said that two tail gates have been stolen recently. They damage theirs on the job, then rip one off trucks with same make and color. I had read some thing on the forum prior and thought for 20 bucks why not.

A hose clamp around the hinge works to slow them down as well and it's much cheaper.

Good morning everyone. Snow, snow, and more snow. Woke up to dry conditions and most of the schools closed. I guess we are going to get snow most of the day. Then Wednesday a bigger storm, and over the weekend they are waiting for a storm that might be measured in feet. Miles over washed his truck this time. Next week he won't have to leave the state for snowmobiling. This must have been his plan all along. LOL

Just got the same lock. For the$20 it costs, you can't go wrong. I read an article the other day about how many thousands of tailgates are stolen every year. The factory lock on the handle its a joke, so I hope this one works.
