I picked up a pair from the local O'Reilly's last fall. Something like $10 each.

Got a set off ebay for mine awhile back. Now just need a new undented tailgate. Makes a nasty dent when it has weight on it and cables break from rust.

Got my replacements in the "Help" section at Pep Boys - $12 each I think it was 2 years ago though so price may be different.



Bring an old one in the store with you to size up the new one's.

I agree, mine broke and I lost a dozen sheets of plywood and a dozen bundles of shingles out of my truck. Thats was even with them ratchet strapped down! Careful with the O'Reilly's cables though, the ones I got were about an inch short and left my tailgate kinda ramped when open. Even if they both look good, if you have over 100K mile, replace them! Only a matter of time till they pop, they aren't that expensive...

Every auto parts store must have em, got mine at napa

Yea I would def advise replacing both of them if they have any age or show any signs of rusting. Mine broke with a piece of cement pipe on it so you can only imagine. I will have to say the bumper does a good job of putting 2 matching dents.
