**The added weight will cause the tailgate to come down faster. It is recommended that you help the tailgate lower gently until the cables support the weight or add optional tailgate assist available here:

Are all the screws countersunk? Wondering how it would work with a bakflip cover?

 

All but the 2 outermost screws on top are countersunk.

You can leave those out if desired, there are still 7 other screws holding it together.

Will work fine with any bed cover/shell. The top is completely flush with the bedside caps.

 

You intend to make Al vs steel version of this?

 

Yes, a lighter duty V.2 is in the works.

 

Watching this one - great idea!

 

Awesome design... Will watch for V2..

 

We're now including 2 optional Tie-Down Loops with every order, free of charge!

They're great for securing loads that rest on top of your tailgate and/or securing ramps when loading motorcycles and other equipment.

 

Where are the links? order form?

 

Eta on v2?

 

I'm accepting orders via private message, payment options are: PayPal, Venmo and Zelle.

Should be ready this week!

 

I'm down for an aluminum version when they come out.

 

I didn't know I needed this until I saw how gouged the top of my tailgate is. I'm interested.

 

Not knowing I needed a mod describes just about every mod that gets posted on this forum. . This forum has cost me thousands!

 

This is cool! Would be great for dirt bike!

 

I'm interested in the aluminum version when they're ready.

 

In for the aluminum version

 

Can anyone confirm or deny fitment on a second gen?

I’m local to the OP so I’d be willing to drive down and verify upon purchase

 

In for Alu version

 

Also in for V2 if it will fit gen 2

 

I would sure like one of these for my 2013 Tacoma, any plans to make for the tacos?

 

This was one of my favorite mods for my Tacoma. I noticed the little lip is removed like the stock one has and it's just flat. Can you provide some pictures of it from the rear with the gate closed @WSDMetal ?

Thanks

 

KBVoodoo already makes one, and side ones as well for the Tacoma.

 

any plans on making these for the sides of the bed as well?

 

I’d be interested in an aluminum one also.

 

I would be interested in aluminum

 

Any update on the aluminum version? Availability? Price?

 

This. Looks like there's a decent amount of interest in an aluminum version, including me.

 

He said he was having some issues getting the aluminum version done, I much prefer no product then a sub par product. He knows there is interest and I'm sure he's still working on it, there's just issues on the production side that we don't see.
