I just picked up my 19 screw last weekend. I was wondering what everyone does for tailgate security? I have had friends lose their tailgate and it's not cheap to replace so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Try to live in an area where people respect other people's property- that's the key. I've never had a tailgate stolen or know anyone who did in 30 years of having trucks and friends with trucks.

I do lock the tailgate and park it in my garage though- since you never know what fuckbucket is going to be rollin through the hood.

How can it be stolen? It locks when the doors lock....

If you don't have a cover, they just pull the access panel and unlock it manually. If you do have a cover, they break into that first then take off the access panel. You could pick the lock too.

Most of the covers are pretty much worthless for security. I have a BakFlip and it can be gotten into with a coat hanger easily. Some of them are good though.
