WOW!!!

So a thread is revived from the dead (10-24-2006.....that's October 24, 2006 for the educationally challenged we have in here.) and then 2 pages of BS bickering about stealing tailgates to follow. O.k, so it calms down after the pis*ing match, but wow.......talk about an increase of ZOMBIE THREADS in here lately.

LOCK this bi*ch up!!!

A soft tonneau may look better, but doesn't actually provide the fuel savings it claims. Whoever posted above about the myth-busters episode was correct. Leave tailgate in. I didn't like the big emblem originally but then I got used to it. To each his own.

I got my tail gate and my side emblems shaved off. I think it looks so much better. I have a buddy in the body work business so I was able to get a really good deal.

About the sides.

My "other" truck has had no tailgate for the 3 years I have owned it plus who knows how many years before and I can take the driver side bed side and move it about a foot left and right. I finally put a racket strap to keep it from flopping around.

i like them to i am going to be sanding my tailgate down this year and getting all the rust off of it and shaving the old emblem holes and putting the big emblem and the ranger elblem to make it lookm like a new ranger from the rear and all my emblems will then match to a new ranger.
