im planning on putting one one each side, if i can put both the lock and the tailgate shock on there

I just put one on the passenger's side. I'll be putting a Jimmi Jammer on the tailgate soon as well.

Wait...so they can steal my tailgate? Why didn't I see this thread before?:/

I need a hose clamp to secure it but I'm curious why the alarm wouldn't go off if they start jimmying with the truck body/tailgate?

Buy the masterlock, the tailgate isn't wired to the alarm system.

does that mean you are stopping in the shop next weekend for an alarm?

If we can get logistics done it would prolly be best on the 23rd. I hope you can do all of it in two days?

This is why I joined this Forum, get tips and tricks like this. Simple, cheap preventative action that could save everyone what sounds like $5000. Would have never really thought about this since I haven't owned a vehicle with a camera in it before......great links and recommendations on parts. Will have one in hand when I pick up my truck.

I have a terrain color raptor so I should be good.. Unless they respray it. If mine goes missing, I'll be looking for one of you lol.

Also, mine came with a locking tailgate- isn't that standard?

Yes it locks with your key. However 99% of people don't. The tailgate lock goes around the cup that keeps the tailgate on the post.

Open your tailgate about 50% and pull up/towards you. You'll be able to see the cutout on the passenger side. Driver side goes all the way around.
