I'd say welding will be far too much work....just pick up an industrial sized tube of JB weld and glue them together......thats how toyota makes the new tailgates for their new tundras....so its gotta be good....plus then you don't have to worry about up or down....

Oh, by the way, a tailgate isnt structural, and there are industrial adheasives that are just as strong or stronger than the spot welds. In fact, most car manufactures have been using them for quite some time, so I dont see the need to single out Toyota.

Nothing wrong with a little humor here....i don't think anyones going to take serious the idea. And I do take issue with toyota specifically for this use as the tailgates are failing in spectacular fashion and they aren't doing anything about the failures, thus leaving consumers out to dry...
