WTB 3rd Gen Tailgate

[Rejo]

Good morning guys, I hope you are doing fine.

Yesterday I had a situation where a tree moved towards my way and bend the hell out the tailgate. I need to replace it. I got a quote and it is crazy high.

What do you think, repairable?






Thank you

That would be a hard one to repair, and make it look good. I would say check one of those "pull a part" yards if you have one close. If not scour the salvage yards on the net. I would think you could find one with a little digging. Good luck.

Yeah, you could hammer it back into shape, but it's still gonna look like a bad case of hemmeriods. This one is gonna cost you a few $$$. Sorry my friend. Hate to see a damaged Taco. [emoji22]

Claim it on your comprehensive car insurance and let them pay for a new one, minus your deductible of course.

Thank you guys for your replies.
I want to avoid the insurance, my premium will go up.

Don't give up without a call to your insurance agent. If your policy is like mine, a claim on the comprehensive does not raise the premium. You'll never know unless you call. Good luck.

Thank you man, I called and they said it is at fault so my premium will go up.

Looks like if you want a replacement it’s going to be about $400-500 for a used one or unpainted one.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago. I bought from amazon already painted for about $400.
