Default Rear Tailgate Cover
My 35" wheel/tire combo was too much weight for my tailgate & caused it to buckle. This happened several months ago & since i bought a new bumper / tire carrier combo. The only thing is I would have to look at my tailgate everytime I opened the tire carrier so I finally decided to look into getting it fixed. $500.00+ was the cheapest quote to fix it which would be the same price as buying a new tailgate cover & having it replaced. So I opted for the cheaper way ($120.00) & bought a diamond plate black tailgate cover instead. Took about 2 hours (I was taking my time to do things right). This is how it came out. I'm very pleased

Looks good! I noticed they have several types of metals available if it's the Rampage?
