Cheap Security For Your Pickup

[Tikker]

Going to do this to my truck this week, fantastic idea!

Good idea...
Also, stick an old game cam with an cell antenna on your dash when you are in a sketchy area (like a Wally World parking lot).

Also add a large washer, on both sides, over the hinge cable so it can't just be slipped off. Anything to slow them down and get them to go to the next truck...

Funny enough, most tailgates that do lock aren't. This trick would save you a lot of money that one time you forgot to lock it.

All the new trucks' tailgates lock when you lock the doors.
