Tail gate half cocked doohickey

Postby Gots_a_sol » Mon Apr 09, 2012 7:05 pm

So the dirt bikes don't fit in the short bed. On top of that, I hate driving with the tail gate down. So made a solution out of an extra tail gate strap.

I cut the rivet off that held the 2 pieces together so I'd have one for each side. The open end has the inside part of the hole opened up enough to slip over the factory latch pin. The part that locks into the stock latches is just a 1/2" bolt welded to the bar.
