2003 Silverado 1500 build thread

Imo^ at least with a regular shaved gate you have the handle you can still hold on to to slow it down. Now your gates a two hand job to open.

Get easy down, use free hand to grab chick's ass, prawfit

I haz dis. Makes opening tailgate fun to do many time over. Forgot my brothers truck didnt have one opened his gate and just let it fall. Busted a strap :cheeky:

See what I mean? They do pop sometimes. :lol:



Get some of these. Tis' what I would/will do if Bohall and I install a push button gate on mine.

I haz dis, they are awesome. What you should do it get some of these and have the button inside the truck. That way when you stop somewhere before you get out the truck hit the button and by the time you get to the back of the truck the gate is already down.

I was going to do this when I was thinking about shaving my gate because I have a soft tonneau cover but never got around to it.
