I've seen it posted on one site where you can put a hose clamp on the right side of the tailgate (where it lifts out) to slow down someone from stealing yer gate. If you don't have an immediate need to remove yer gate at regular intervals, you can give this a try when you git yer new gate.

Where are you located? I've seen a few gates up fer sale in the CA and AZ areas. I've found a few cheap ones on www.car-part.com in the past. Just a thought... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Tucson... $65!

Did the tailgate to the T-100 come with a lock? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
