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
