Thanks! Only thing we don't like is that you can't lock it from the inside. We're going to have to jury rig some sort of inside locking mechanism - maybe a slotted plate that drops down over the latch shaft(s) and down inside the locked tailgate.
We had to get the tailgate re-keyed to match the cab because it turns out the bed isn't the same one that came off the pickup
I bought an aluminum sleeve to adapt the 2.5" hitch receiver down to our 2" ball mount. I will eventually buy a 2.5" ball mount but I don't really need that right now, just something that we can move our little camp trailer with and tow a U-haul. We pulled the biggest u-haul trailer that they rent up from CO to MT back 23 years ago with our old 77 Suburban and that same 2" ball mount.
Anyway, the tire pressure says 60/75 front/rear. It rides terrible empty on the gravel road. I'm thinking I could let the back tires down to 60 since we're not going to be hauling 3000 pounds most of the time ???
