Re: Where to Buy?Tailgate Protector - Diamond Plate
I took one off a ranger, shortned it to fit my stepside left some short tabs that I bent down to cover the space between the end of the top rail and the stake bed pockets. I put it on the rail under the rear window. It worked fine for that, I also have a piece of diamond plate for the bed floor.
