Can Pilot Automotive Truck Tailgate Net TR-02 Be Installed Without Removing OEM Tailgate
Question:
Can this gate be installed without taking off factory tailgate? Was wanting to use it as containment for dogs. Truck has a camper shell. Wanted to be able to lower tailgate to allow airflow

The Pilot Automotive Truck Tailgate Net # TR-02 installs using included brackets that you mount on the vehicle. Your choice of the specific mounting positions for these brackets will determine whether your OEM tailgate can still close and/or lock as usual when the net is installed. You can refer to the linked video on this item to see these brackets and an installation on a 1986 Chevy C/K series pickup.
Please note this net should not be used as a tailgate replacement to restrain cargo or passengers.
