Anyone installed a Bullydog or Pop a Lock? Comments on either?

 

I Had the pop lock one and after about a year it started to rust (painted part) other than that it worked fine.

 

I have used the Bully Tailgate lock on the last three trucks I have had. They work great IMO, look just like OE equipment and lock as securely as any lock can on a tailgate. This one has been one for over a year and a half with no issues.

 

I tried the pop lock and it flexed open on me.

 

Pop n lock = JUNK

Bully = pretty good. Plastic that can be busted into in about 2 seconds but better than nothing.

 

I have the Bullydog...not bad IMO.

 

Why not get an electric lock. Its convenient to know that when you lock your doors, the tailgate is locked as well. No keys and it looks better.

Just an option.....

did you do that option? how much of a pain was it to install?

 

Power Tailgate lock is the only way to go. It takes about 30 minutes to install and works with the drivers door lock system. I won't say it's fool proof but it does a much better job than the key lock systems. All of the parts are inside the tailgate.

 

Here's what I installed.

If you don't have a spayed on bedliner then you have a choice of them all. I had to go with the pop-lock , because I had already spayed the liner in.

 

My truck has Line-X spray, done day after I bought it. My tailgate panel was removed and sprayed seperately so I have no problem removing it to get to the inside latch assembly. So for some this may not be a problem.

 

Same here no problems getting to the lock assy.

 

RamWheelsBy4, thats a nice looking wax job on the tailgate? Does the rest of the truck look that good?

 

Pace Edwards makes a great electric one also, I really like mine. Biggest pain was finding the lead to the door locks in the truck to tap into.
