Custom Tailgate Tie Down That Work With Tailgate Assist Installed (Recovers Lost Tiedown)

[Mowens5150]

So here’s what I did today. I wasn’t crazy about having to lose one of the tie downs when I installed the tail gate assist so I went and built ones that will fit and work with the assist. Only needed one but it would have drove me crazy having them mismatched, So I made 2. Made them out of stainless but I’ll probably powder coat them black so they don’t stand out as much.

I would like to buy these, do you still make them?

I just had the tailgate assist installed yesterday on my Lariat. I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat!

I would love to buy one as well; willing to buy set for $80 and sell/ship the 2nd to someone else just looking for single, if that is preferred by Chandonnet

I am interested in these. Let me know how much and where to send the cash. If you have em raw un powdercoated that would be preferred. Stainless steel wont rust.

Really really dumb question. If I get the tailgate assist when I get my Maverick, can you still leave the truck door partially open?

 

[Barracuda340]

Yes. Tailgate assist has nothing to do with that feature

Still no build date for my truck, but I would love one of these (gonna keep the bottle operner on the other side). Let me know if someone has 1 spare to sell or if OP wants to make another.

I wanted to get the tail gate assist for my Mav (when/if it arrives) but won't because my OCD is just like yours - I can't handle the imbalance. I also echo others - if you build them I will buy them!
