  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

Cock bastards

The tailgate? Who steals a tailgate? I guess I'm not up on what parts of a truck can be turned into money.
A very common occurance. Big bucks for the piece of shit thiefs.

Easy to take off and worth several hundred dollars. Price a new one at the dealer and see how much it is to have it painted.

Call a wrecking yard and see if they have one in your color if you want to try and save some money and not turn this in on your insurance.

Happened to my niece twice in Seattle. She just got the old one replaced, left her truck out and bang...gone. Must be something to do with Ford?

Vipe I'm real sorry to hear that. I have had my car broken into three times and the last time they put my car up on blocks and stole the rims and tires. Oh yea, my apartment about 8 years ago was broken into and just about everything of value was stolen. It's a sick sick feeling.

dam that sucks, but why steal a tailgate? Unless you were missing one of your own.

Ouch. I feel for ya too, Vipe. I've heard quite a bit about the trend and have worried a time or two about mine during the past year I've had my Dodge. I wonder if Rhino lining makes it more or less desireable?

Too good for 'em: Tie the knucking fucklleheads face down in the truck bed and find a nice "rustic" road to drive down at "Yeehaw!" speed.

I've never heard of anyone doing this before but I can see how it's attractive considering it's $1k a tailgate!!! Sorry to hear this Eric

What happened to the lock? Did they just break it out? Damn, I thought that thing was great...$1000 for a new tailgate? **** me! I think I may go take mine off and put one of those damned net things on...
