TailGuard

For 2017-2022 F250/350/450 only - Does not fit 2023+ trucks

It doesn't matter if your tailgate is locked. Its not hard to open with access to the inside of the tailgate. Once opened, the tailgate and tail lights are very vulnerable unless devices are used to protect them.

Kit Includes: textured black powder coated driver and passenger brackets, two 1/2-13 stainless steel carriage bolts (heads are powder coated black), 4 aluminum washers, two nylock nuts, and two 3d printed poly carbonate bushings. See install tips for more info on the hardware.

Fitment issues:  these are designed to use the top stock hole on the rear bed posts. Bed liner thickness will vary from truck to truck. The provided bushing's fitment will depend on your liner's thickness. If you have no liner, it will be a bit loose. This will not affect the performance of these brackets. It is simply for installation ease. If there has been any modifications to these holes, intentional or otherwise, it could affect fitment of the entire assembly. Please be advised.

Lastly: Replace your tailgate cover screws. My bracket will protect the latch opening but it will not prevent someone from taking a T25 bit (which is very prevalent) and opening the cover to unlatch the tailgate. I offer a kit that uses patented proprietary fasteners. Check it out.
