Just remember with tailgate open when travelling your tailgate will look like it was sandblasted. I seen a guy's truck after one season and the tailgate looked bad and he said he would never use a set up like that again
All the best Ian for your new chapter in life. Just think if you don't sale your house we could have a snow and mud party there and send you some pics.
