go to Bucees - best price on 100 lb tailgates - I have two of them -

 

Hang on the tailgate like mine or go in the receiver?......and yep, I'm back home, no buck!

I'm on my 8th year on mine, gotta be a record!

 

Made mine goes in receiver hitch.

 

I bought one from Chas-Mac in Houston. It is good quality. Had I seen the one's I saw at Buccee's I would have bought it.

 

I bought one of these about 8 years ago. I immediately beefed up the framing material with angle iron and welded a receiver hitch on it. I found it to be in the way on the back for the tailgate, so when I made new bumpers for my hunting truck I put a receiver hitch on the front bumper and that's where it stays. West Texas can beat anything up (Iv'e seen more than one twisted frame from rocking around out their) and this one has held up fine (but I don;t think it would have lasted a day without adding the angle iron).

Wish it was remote...but the wires are long enough to go over the cab and come through the rear sliding glass, so it's not that big of a deal.

I have had two, got tired of the one that blocked the tailgate and got a Lamco low profile so I could open the tailgate without removing the feeder. It hung down a bit and the plate that protects the spinner would hit a rock now and then, but I liked it. Sold it along with the truck. Probably should have hung onto both.

 

Whatever you get, make sure it has the spring spinner plate. Lamco's are very nice and low profile.

I have heard of several people having problems with the chaff in aluminum radiators, the chaff build up and will corrode the radiators, just food for thought.

 

Another vote for Lamco low Profile!!
