Well, as for the tailgate being filled smooth, I was actaully thinking of
jsut shaving the handles, and then somehow trying to use the tailgate indent
into the tailight filler panels.

I allready ahve a alterImages steel roll pan,

I dunno what I am gunna do for brake lights yet, I am seriously thinking of
mounting some LEDs into the lip that the roll pan mounts too, so the tailgate
will function, and the LED will be completely hidden when off.

I was thinking of completel smoothing the tailgate, but I don't know how
dakota's would look without any body detail on back... Anyone got a Gen 1 or
2 with this done???
