    Some wonderful comments! I did disconnect the battery and someone mentioned you should use a shunt.. Or better yet take the tailgate off. Thank you all for contributing and I'm so Thankful you are enjoying my hard work. Also I didn't realize this but if you have no cover you should add a seal.

      Just wanted to add that you may want to put welding blanket to stop welding spatter ( cherries) from damaging paint on outside tailgate. Also if you keep your ground close to your work it won't arc across hinges or bearings. And yes I learned these points the hard way.

    Cool project, and you did a great job. Regarding the video itself, though, you raced through the important parts - I would have appreciated more discussion of the frame-in-frame design, for example - and lingered over the less important details. Everyone already knows how to spray paint, how to ruin the wife's blow dryer when she's not home, etc.

    Good creativity. Easy for us to be armchair posters. I only have two recommendations. 1. Get a tailgate from junkyard to hack on and save original when truck is sold or traded. 2. That can't be weather proof.
    But it's a great idea.

    • @PTRRanger951
      @PTRRanger951 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      It doesn’t have to be weatherproof. The tailgates are not sealed to begin with and will drain any water they get in them. They are not made to keep water and dust out.

    Well done. Not hiding the error and showing what your plan to fix it is helpful to many people.
    Only thing that worried me was welding on the truck and not having the shunt attached to the battery.
    The electrical surge from welding can create problems in the different computer control modules.
    Older rigs the trick was disconnecting the battery but newer ones that doesn’t always work.
    I used to own a truck equipment shop and learned GM was the most forgiving for this issue.

    That is brilliant! I’m a “Find storage in every little niche” kind of guy, and I love this idea. Just one word of advice: Get a patent or copyright or something on this. The auto manufacturers have probably already watched this and will be coming out with “new and improved” do-everything tailgates. The already have the steps and bells and whistles, so I don’t know why somebody hasn’t thought of this - till now! Good on you!

      A patent attorney will usually charge between $8,000 and $10,000 for a patent application, but the cost can be higher. In most cases, you should budget between $15,000 and $20,000 to complete the patenting process for your invention.

      I wish I would have mentioned that as I have a tunnel cover. I did experience that one time when I left it open and we got a big storm. Tailgates and doors are designed to drain any water that finds its way in them but only in their upright position. I think your idea of weather stripping is awesome to solve it altogether.

    Good job, KC, it looks great. But I agree with you about cutting open the tailgate. Not in my truck, at least not by me... I just put a 7/16ths sheet of OSB on the bed, pinned two slats of OSB strips long enough to chock in a Rubbermaid Tote up against the forward bulkhead of the truck bed and the left side of the truck bed.
    I keep my cargo straps, 2" receiver hitch plug, jumper cables, and anything else I care to put in the Tote. Works well for me.

    A lender has no say in what you do to or with the truck YOU own. They’ve loaned you money, not the truck. They can accept the truck as collateral in case you don’t pay, but it’s your truck until/unless you default.

      @@davidbabcock5172 Nope, they just auction it and charge you the difference(usually in collections since you defaulted) from the amount you owe and what they sell it for. The only issues you cause yourself is owing more if you damage the vehicle or alter it and it sells for less at auction.

      Of course whatever contract you sign with the bank can have special terms that allow for them to collect in a multitude of ways, however they often use the boiler plate standard as its the simplest for them to recover funds with minimal cost.

    Quick tip when cutting it out don't use things that creates heat like a cut off wheel. This will heat up the metal causing spots for rust. Also I found out if you are getting a big load of wood you should get the straps out first. Luckily the forklift guy picked them up enough for me to get them out. 😃

    Thank youf ro sharing this KCreation ;) I bought an old Silverado and the tailgate is in great shape on the outside but apparently something hit it from the inside at high velocity and bent the tailgate to the point it is very difficult to open and close. I'm going to need to either find a way to straighten it or replace it. I was considering making a tailgate but I think I am going to do a hybrid with storage now. Basically, I'll make a tailgate that is a storage box with diamond plate lid but recess it into the skin if the original after it is relieved and straightened. Sort of like you have but the whole tailgate will be a storage box.

    This is my favorite tailgate storage build yet. I love how you used the original cut out as the lid. You also didn’t make a box to insert, just used the hole as storage but sort of made a box by sectioning off the area from the underneath with the foam. My only concern is how long will the foam last and is this water proof?

      There is no parts list it's not that critical. If you don't have a welder you certainly could rivet the whole thing. Some may think it look bad others would say it looks awesome. The corners would be a week point I would either rivet a L corner bracket in or better find a person to weld that part they will charge 5 maybe 10 bucks. This is by far my most used project to date and it still works amazing.
