Tailgate condom...

Interesting OT story about tailgate rock chips.
I used to think the same thing as in my '05 Dmax I used to run with the gate down all the time and it looked like someone shot it with a BB gun. I also used to pull a couple different utility and holiday trailers.
When I bought my '07 I put a deck on it right away and never ever run with the gate down. Still pull the same trailers and yet my tailgate now looks just as bad. Took me a while to figure it out, but the rocks were coming off of the tires, hitting the trailer, and bouncing forward into my tailgate. Made sense as I used to always find good sized stones on my bumper. So running with it down really wasn't as big of a problem as I thought IMO. I am going to repaint it and after put 3M tape over the whole tailgate to protect the paint. Probably not a bad idea for anyone who tows or runs with their gate down
OK Back on topic......

I used to have a trailer with a flat front and I would have rocks on the tonneau cover all the time. Took a couple of times before I realized what was happening.
