I may just have bad eye sight right now because I'm not wearing my contacts or glasses, but is that thing taped up?

You guys have inspired me.... Yesss im going to do this mod. I am headed out to the salvage yard this friday and have a few questions.

They are making me pull it myself....

What tools should I bring? (size sockets etc)

What is a fair price for one of these things?

I thought I'd report back since it's been nearly a year since I installed mine. No signs of body warping yet and I've never had the latch come undone (which I was initially nervous about).

The six larger bolts on the corner near the taillight need a T50 torx bit and the six bolts that hold the striker plate onto the tailgate need a T30 bit. I would also bring penetrating lubricant and a long wrench/breaker bar if you can. A couple of the bolts on the carrier I got were rusted badly and took a lot of work to remove.

I paid $25 but from reading through this thread, I'd say the average price is around $50-75ish...

Good luck! Make sure to post pictures once you get it installed

No. I emailed him...it is a small baggie with the bolts/mounting hardware...I might get this one..but I am not paying 150 for it.... I may offer him $100..


And WISCO...if ur pulling it yourself...I wouldn't pay more than $80... Good luck...keep us updated
