I am looking for the type of protector that just covers the top
of the gate. I also want black.
I learned a little bit more today when I stopped by the local truck
accessory place. Putco will be making a metal one that goes over the
top. It will be avaliable in the spring. Dee Zee will be making a
smoked plastic one, which will also be out in the spring. This
will be part of their Dy-Nam-X line. So it looks like I will have
to wait a month or two to get one that fits the truck properly.
