    Default Tailgate latch

    Made this yesterday I had been meaning to get some latches on it for a while, had been securing it with a ratchet strap previously.

    In a few months it should weather and blend in better.

    Are you going to put a little 'nubbin' with a bearing on the end of the crank so you can turn it easier? How many turns open to closed?
