Aftermarket tailgate?
« on: January 22, 2008, 08:30:31 PM »

Has anyone here ever used an aftermarket tailgate for a 94-02 Ram ? The reason I ask is are they decently heavy or are they paper thin? Ours got stolen las week:(

Thanks

Some dumbass bodyshop put a chinese hood on my Yukon after he was paid for a factory hood. The giveaway was when I closed the hood and dented it with my hands.

That's f@#ked up man, I had the same thing happen to me, but at the time I had a $1k deductible on my truck to keep the monthly payment lower, and to get the tailgate replaced with a factory one through the insurance co. it would of cost almost $850.00 Frustrated........and that would have been out of my pocket...............so none the less I'm still driving around without a tailgate.............Everytime I see a truck the same color as mine, or with the same color tailgate I just want to go over and stick my key into the lock to see if it is mine hammer................and it is the same here in the wrecking yards to try and find a descent replacement.
If anybody has a 99 f-150 tailgate laying around, what do you want for it? I know it is a terd but I have my 58 to shoot for, and make it into my driver.
