Description

Your tailgate has to put up with a lot of abuse—freight dragging across it, timber crashing down on it and, finally, being slammed shut against overfull loads. Give your cargo bay door complete protection against dents, grazes and nicks with Dee Zee’s Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector.

The Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector is fully custom-designed for a precise fit onto your truck. Your entire tailgate is protected—from the top edge down to the base. That way, you’re always covered when your cargo decides to start sliding around.

Wrought from heavy-duty aluminum, your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector can withstand even the most punishing conditions. Plus, the diamond-tread finish adds a tough edge to your truck’s presence.

For an intense defense against the elements, your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector is treated with Dee Zee’s special powder coating. Choose between the BriteGuard polished coating or the glossy Black-Tread finish. 1-year warranty.

Notes

  • For the most secure mount possible, some light drilling is required to install your Brite-Tread Full Tailgate Protector.

The product arrived in just a few days but was slightly bent upon opening the box. I am not whining here but the two ears (ends) were bent although they were easily re- bent back straight. The box (loosly wrapped cardboard with two plstic straps)contained no papers or fasteners. Perhaps since the installation was so straight forward there was no need for literature and the fasteners were common screws. Since I have been away from home over the Christmas and New Years holiday I have yet to see any fasteners. I assume the fasteners shipped. Overall the product was as expected and shipping was prompt.

Great product, fits perfectly on my Tundra. Could use a few more places to attach. Used 6 sheetmetal screws in addition to securely fasten. Will hopefully save my tailgate from really falling apart.

Love how it fit. Took five minutes to install. Just wish was a little longer, came short towards the bed by three inches. Screws that they send are not what I used, I recommend a flat head self tapper.

This protector looks great and realy compliments the diamond plate on my bumpers. The factory holes dont line the best but with a drill and some common sense they can be made to fit just fine. I puchased these along wiyh the bed caps and would do so again without hesitation
