just got my truck back from paint and I always hated how flimsy the tail gates are you almost can't even wash it with it wanting to bend in so I had a idea went to home depot and pickup some gap fill and filled across the tailgate and it worked great now the tailgate is rigid here some pics

Interesting idea. I wonder if it'll trap moisture. Hope not. Let us know in a few years.

being in the middle of the tailgate I wouldn't worry too much about it trapping moisture, now if it were down at the bottom of the gate, it would definitely speed up the rust, but hes in Florida so I don't think its as big of a problem as it is here.
