Tailgate options
Hi Everyone, playing around with a couple scenarios...wanted to see if anyone has ever either 1: relocated the open handle to the outside of the tailgate, or 2: swapped for an F150 tailgate (for anyone running soft top / open year-round)?
There is no key cylinder in the tailgate (a PO removal, no idea why), and I haven't yet diagnosed why the dashboard switch doesn't move the window (makes a little noise but nothing doing), so I'm mulling options.
Easy enough to find replacement cylinders/keys for the doors, but I haven't found a replacement cylinder&key for the tailgate...anyone else had to replace these??
