I screwed up the other day and let a huge bag of rubber mulch(2000 lbs) fall out of the back of the bed, I actually did it on purpose, a lot quicker then unloading by hand. The problem is the air plane cables snapped and the tailgate fell all the way down and the bumper put a crease(dent) across it, it is just below the FORD emblem. Any ideas on how to make it go away? I called a dent removal guy, he said he couldn't fix it. I was thinking maybe have a body shop pound it out, so it isn't so dramatic, then cover the back with a white bed loner material. I just don't want to buy a new tailgate or pay a body shop a ton of change to fix it.... Thanks for your input.

LOL

You are gonna spend 4 times the money trying to redneck unfk it then you would just to search CL for a used tailgate.

You could try taking the access panel off and see if you could massage some of it out from the inside.

2000lb bag. Damn that's a big bag.

Depending on how deep the crease is a good PDR guy could work a lot of it out. Or just find a new/used one like stated above

I was hoping someone knew of a chrome plate that would snap on or 3M tape on. Like the Platinums...

The platnium panel has rivets all threw it you want to avoid messing with that trust me.

I just saw in the classified that a guy is parting out a 6.7 it was in a wreck but maybe the tailgate is unharmed.
