    Just finished my tailgate repair and I think it turned out ok. Saved me money on a new one.

    Looks really nice. I fixed mine with a piece of 1/2 schedule 40 pipe and some 18 gauge. Doesn't look as nice but will work fine for me.

    I bought the repair piece from a guy on this forum and aside from being a tad long it worked better than I thought it would. And for $28.00 it saved me about 70 some bucks not having to buy a new one.
