Multifunction Tailgate Retrofit

Here are the bracelets

We came to the same basic conclusion. I was considering making them with a 1/2" - 3/4" notch to make them adjustable, but I think that's what we're planning.

We're still awaiting some parts - a mid-gate striker, weather caps for the MFT frame, and interior bed liner covers.

Do you have photos of your adaptors in place and functional? I think there's plenty of clearance for the bolts that hold them in - how bad is it to torque them so they don't rotate?

Today's project was mounting the replacement bumper (Chassis Unlimited), and salvaging wiring harnesses. Lost one of the backup sensors, so I am now waiting on a replacement sensor set, and connectors, as well as some weather sealed 2 pin connectors for the license plate lights, since the old ones don't snap into the new bumper.

Once the other parts get in, there will be updates....

Has anyone already finished this and how did it go during the process?

I’m at the shop now buttoning up details.

It is fully functional. We are dealing with the Striker pins right now as the last “big” detail (need some trim pieces still).

Except for the striker pins, it’s plug and play as long as your donor is fully functional.
