Good tip brother, everyone has a 5/16 nut driver for the hose clamp setup and this kit is enough to slow them down to move on to the next truck. Great tip and info! Will be getting one for my F250 for sure.
Former criminal here (I did my time). We wouldn't bother. Much easier to just move on to the next truck which likely doesn't have this product. Once in awhile you see these or something similar and then you just abort because seconds truly do count and it's simpler to just move on
Mine was stolen a couple weeks ago. Mostly because my dumb ass left my tailgate unlocked. LOCK your tailgate just because you don’t have a shell doesn’t mean you can leave it unlocked.
Would I be able to install this on a my tailgate with the power gate. It’s a 24 f250 king ranch, and there’s a metal plaque with a bolt already on there
Maybe ? A prybar or Hammer & chisel can break that plastic off in seconds. The hassle and noise might make the SCUMBAGS pick another truck. Thanks for info 👍
I installed the hose clamp on mine but I put it on so that you can't use a screwdriver or nut driver to remove the clamp. You have to use a 1/4" ratchet and socket which is easy if you have one handy but takes time. I'm thinking of putting JB weld on the hex nut so even I would have to cut it off if I want to remove the tailgate. I'm hoping that they will see the clamp on there and move on to a truck that is easier. I also ordered anti-theft screws for my tail lights since mine have the blind spot radar in them. One guy with a Super Duty had his stolen and the dealer charged 4000 dollars to replace them.

Thanks for the tip bro ! Just installed mine

Won't theives just buy this kit so they now also have the universal key?

@@BuckwheatPlatypusi was told this too by another retired thief....

I need, great product

Are you installing fog lights on your lightning anytime soon?
No I actually like the look without them I have the original ones & brackets
Do they make one for 2022 GMC Sierra 1500? I’m getting mixed answers online for fitment.
You know I’m not sure but I don’t see why it wouldn’t fit it. They all use the same basic setup.
Will this fit on a 2007 ford ranger?
Oh for sure. It’s a universal fit. Most tailgates have the same fitting
@@JJBanuelos thank you so much! Just ordered one. Keep the scumbags from trying to steal it again.
It be good to put loctite to make sure that final screw won’t be taken off by thieves
How I found it on Amazon ?
What can you install for the tailights, I just got mine stolen
Strip the bolts that hold the taillight.
You’ll have to drill them out when you need to remove them,
So only one lock is needed? 2 or one on each side?
Only one lock is needed.

Appreciate it

you do realize that everyone just uses a hose clamp. u can also strip the head so its more of a pain.
I bought one two years ago because my tailgate was stolen. My tailgate just got stolen again
Where do we buy this ?
I should have a Amazon link down below my description in the video
Stealing tailgates?! Tailgate theft is not a problem here in Albuquerque. They just steal your truck.
Just stole mine looks like they broke this with a screwdriver!
Mine was stolen last night 🥺😭😢
Sorry bout that. These definitely help in most cases they don’t even mess with them since it makes it harder for them to steal
They will still get it I think they won't have a key or something to make on lol
Mines got stolen today.....why cant these car manufacturers just make these cars and trucks harder to steal from?
weld it close aka you can never take it off yourself either
They do. When I lock my doors on my 2018 Silverado it also locks the tailgate.
Thieves will have access to keys to this lock! Lock your tailgate…
stop saying "go ahead and"
