I just added my Ford tailgate table on Friday. Although it‘s a little nerve-racking drilling into a perfectly good new truck, if you follow the instructions you’ll be fine. Only two tips:
this is how it looks. I got the idea to put some copper-color anodized aluminum sheet behind the cutout Bronco to hide the unpainted area from another YouTube video. I just snipped it to size with some tin ships and stuck it down with gorilla tape. Theres a lot of clearance back there so theres lots of options to stick the sheet down.
Finally, I’ve got the @Diabolical Inc slipstream installed, which I love to protect my valuables. I stuck some thick anti-slip matting on the underside to prevent rattle from cargo hitting on. On the top—and I got the idea from this form—I used some of the faux teak marine flooring to give me a non-slip surface to lay items on. I though it looked pretty good when completed. Very easy to cut and apply and pretty inexpensive.
- When drilling, start with small pilot holes and step up through a few sizes before using the supplies bit. The holes will be nice and clean and less fear of a wandering bit. I got that idea from an install video I found on YouTube.
- Watch where all the bushings go. It’s really easy to miss where they go and, during the install process for the table—which can be a little fiddly—you could forget one. I suspect that anybody hearing rattle might have a missing bushing or washer.
