    99-03 GM tailgate cables

    They are replacing them for free at Doggett. Told him I would tell some people. I know alot of people that have broken them on these trucks. Tell your friends.

    Because they did a piss poor job at keeping them from rusting and they break after like 2 years.

    Stumble in to the liquor store

    I must just be lucky, mine are not broke yet, and I have set my fat ass on it many times, and have had my old 44 & 60 stiing on it for like 2-3 weeks.
