My 2011 Platinum Tailgate for your non-Platinum Tailgate
I have an '11 Platinum and I've just removed all chrome from the truck. The tailgate is a tricky piece to fill the holes left after removing the Platinum panel so I'm looking to trade someone for their non-Platinum tailgate.
Here are the details:
Here are the details:
- My tailgate has the step - will ONLY trade for a tailgate with the step
- I removed the handle / pole and added the panel to cover the hole (see third picture). I am keeping the panel for the "new" tailgate and will reinstall the pole if you want it. Or I can leave the pole off (you can have it) and you can get your own panel to cover the hole.
- My tailgate is white platinum tri-coat - will trade for other colors if that's what it takes
- My tailgate has the back-up camera - we will swap emblems and whatever other parts are required if yours does not have the back-up camera
- I am a few miles east of Dallas, Texas - I prefer a local trade (will drive a reasonable distance to meet you), but I will consider shipping our tailgates to one another if your tailgate has the OEM camera and step installed

I expected that question... will probably sell the tow mirrors soon, but I'm going to see if I can handle driving around with the standard mirrors before I sell the tow mirrors. I swore I'd never own another truck without the tow mirrors but I'm putting a lot of work into the appearance of this truck and the tow mirrors just don't work for the look I'm after.
The bumper in the pic is the new Harley piece waiting to be installed. I do have the original lower bumper (Platinum, EB) cover and it's in good shape (not perfect, it's got 69k miles on it).
I'll start a FS thread with all of the stock Platinum pieces once I get the truck back from my body guy.

As I stated above, I'm going to drive the truck with the standard mirrors for a while. I'm fairly certain I'll sell the tow mirrors, but not until I've had plenty of seat time with the smaller mirrors. It won't be "ASAP".
Bump for tailgate trade...
