Default Can the tailgate step be added

Can the tailgate step be added to a truck that does not originally have one? I really want one. Not $1,000 want one like ebay lists maybe not even $400 want one but I want one.

Probably not for what your wanting to pay.

Your best bet is to find someone who has one and doesn't like it. Swap tailgates with them or find a wrecked truck.

That's not the same as a TG step. I use mine all the time and that pitiful thing would be useless compared.

I may just have to pony up more dough if I want it. $399 was the best I could find out of a wrecked one shipped and the trim on it was imperfect. The yellow ball for the assist part was ripped off

dhonnoll, IF you get the new tailgate, I call dibs on the not stripper pole access panel!! I'll even send you my stripper pole with the yellow ball intact.

Stripper pole. Since y'all put it like that looks more like a female pervert pole.

That step is the most handiest thing a truck could have

Brb walking right up into the truck bed carrying something with both hands


I keep the pole because my gf uses it...

The pole does come in handy sometimes. If there was only a way to retro fit a 15+ to a older model that would be perfect. LOL
