Well today I was loading a quad and stupid me let it come down on my tailgate 16 ram 2500 cummins. The impact was minimal but still crunched the inside edge of my tailgate and punched out the latch handle and camera. I'll try to post pick tomorrow. These tailgates just aren't built like they used to be. Anyone know what and where I can get another without spending my left one?

Try used and move everything over. I assume the camera and handle assembly are OK?Originally Posted by Badger2078

Man that stinks! I don't know anyone with one sitting around but can start looking. If you fine one up my way I'd be happy to help get it down to you.

Hey @Badger2078 I see your just down the road in Rutherford... I know Jim Campen trailer sales in Fletcher has a bunch of new truck beds from all makes of trucks for sale where people traded them in to have flat beds installed. You could check with them to see if they have a tailgate for your truck?

Well Polaraco thanks for your help. Usually when I read your posts it's about not having your crystal ball dialed in or something isn't it? And yes it all still works although the camera feed is angled slightly

Thanks very much. I'll definitely give them a call. My next choice is prob jt truck parts in marion. They part out wrecks and shelve the parts
