Zambeezy Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 Is getting your tailgate stolen a concern? Never heard of that happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaylec Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 Yes its been s problem. Actually, with all the drug addicts encouraged to live here on the left coast, anything made of metal is fair game to be stolen. http://www.latimes.com/business/autos/la-fi-hy-truck-tailgate-theft-rises-20140902-story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64 Cheyenne Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The web site: http://www.jimmijammer.com/GK%20Model%20list.htm But which one did you purchase as there is no listing for our trucks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOrnbrod Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 I just tightened a band clamp with an Allen head like the below around the pivot point. Not 100% theft-proof, but most thieves don't have a set of Allen wrenches in their pocket. It fits tightly too, unlike the above "one size fits all" lock that rattles around - read the reviews.............. Image Not Found Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaylec Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 If its to big and can be removed when locked then I wasted money. If it just rattles i can wrap it in black electrical tape. I will let you know. I do like the alternatives you guys posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big66440 Posted February 9, 2017 Share Posted February 9, 2017 Is getting your tailgate stolen a concern? Never heard of that happening You'll be surprised, that's the ONLY reason I haven't put on a tail gate I have that's in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
