Great install! I have been looking at doing this to my F350 for a while now. Where did you find the Wiki write up or what should I search for. Looks great. Thanks.

Thanks Stephen...I owe you a big thanks on the Wiki. I would not have even known about this mod if it wasn't for you.
I bought the tailgate complete off of craigslist for $250...it was damaged a little.
I took it to the bodyshop and got it fixed and sprayed for a little over $250.
I had to buy the trim new and the driver's side hinge...so I've got a little less than $550 in it. I don't know how that compares to everybody else.

I also ordered the whole jimi jammer line...how does that gate keeper mount? Do you have to take the tailgate off?
They now also have a jimi jammer for the 08 tailgate handles. :sweet

Mine cost me a little over $48,000. Altough, it came with the rest of the truck!:lmao:lmao

That looks really good. I like the look of the 08 tailgates. Guess I need to go and pick one up now. Truck will be going into the shop to be repainted and finally have my fender fixed from were I had my blow out awhile back. I have talked to the body shop that is going to paint the truck and we have talked about if I get the 08 tailgate having the Super Duty Paint the darker color of the truck.

Has anybody really found these? I have been on Craigslist and Ebay and can't seem to find an 08 tailgate for the life of me. Thanks.
