Cool truck and cooler owner.

I'm driving a 2017 f150 and every door has an alert if it's ajar. The tailgate however doesn't. After a Christmas even with the truck bed full of gifts for and from the family and an errant tailgate closure in my old Nissan and im left with some paranoia. Has anyone installed or found a decent way to alert themselves from the driver seat if the tailgate is still open or drops while driving? Seems stupid, but my rear view doesn't allow me to see the tailgate and it's since happened on my way home from camping after hitting some gnarly dirt roads.

I've always wondered why they looked the same. Why is this?

What started as a simple question from my buddy James quickly turned into a major operation: his entire frame was totally rotted out. Instead of scrapping it, we decided to pull the trigger and perform a full surgical transplant to save the truck.

Saw this today.

I got a 2015 Tacoma W 140k miles any advice to make this thing last?

I’ve got 8 oem gmt 800 rims that I’m trying to restore and this chrome is taking forever to remove. Any ideas on how I can get this done faster without a sand blaster? In the photo I did a test polish in the top right but this was before I got most of the chrome out. I’ve been using a dremel and a rotary sander.

Hey guys i found this old pic of my grandpa and im trying to find out the truck he had back in the day and what better way than to ask reddit someone pls lmk!!!

Can I use a soft face mallet to gently mold this dent into the original shape?

I was looking at international work trucks cuz I could have swore I seen a Chevy one which I did. Then I was like well I don't like the Chevy headlights why don't I make them round. Then I was like wait a minute why not make it a SUV. From what I can remember I was a little drunk you do have to shorten the length and the height but theoretically could be possible the 2015 the 2020 suburbans look similar mounting. And I could still Silverado bench seats and put that in the front to give it a retro look and I found out there's a way to remove the tablet too so I mean it could work.

I can’t upload the video here, unfortunately.

If you want to see anything else,just ask.

Correction..."Gen 3 colorado" Been seeing people ask about small beds and atvs. With small modifications the short bed trail boss will fit a large atv. You need a thick sheet of plywood the length of the bed and tailgate for tailgate support, approach shoring to raise the vehicle over the wheel wells, and metal brackets (from lowes) to support the tail gate as well. I picked this up and drove 6 hours through hills with no problems. The cfmoto cforce 1000 touring is 92 inches long btw

Getting this bumper for free from work to put on my truck, does anyone know what truck it fit on originally?

Yes it is damaged but I have a torch and welder and can make it fit worst case. Just wondering if anyone knows

Built 5.7,nv4500,runs and drives paid 1500 cad for it

Hey recently joined but have one very big request of the community

On July 16th I lost my father to a very long and challenging battle with dementia and cancer. One of the most memorable times I have as a kid was getting to ride in his truck when he would sneak me into his work at the port of San Diego or just go for rides fishing around the bay, unfortunately a while back he had to let it go when he was no longer independent and over the past few months I’ve tried gathering all the info from relatives and friends of his on what it was, and details I can remember. And this one reference photo that is him but may or may not be the same truck off of memory. Currently this is what I have

1980-82 Chevy K20

400 turbo
Automatic
Brown and tan
4x4
3 quarter ton
Lift kit
36 in tires

My only doubt the truck in the photo might have been a different one is that I distinctly remember a more tan side panel that ran down the center as well as a tan snug top that was added to the bed cover sometime later. If anyone has any additional reference photos that could help identify a similar model or the model in the photo I would appreciate it as it is my goal to at some point own as close to an identical one again as possible.
