So I decided last nite there is no reason for running my tailgate and wanna get a tailgate skin and mold in. My question is whats the best way to support and brace the skins so there is no cracking along the lines of the skin and bed. pics would be great...thanks for any help

What I have done in the past is use a piece of 1x1 square tubing and run that at the very top of the bed corners so that you can actually hang the skin on it. Do another at the very bottom of the skin and one in the middle. Then do cross braceing in between each bar. I would also brace from the bottom bar to the underside of the bed floor. Ofcoarse that all depends on what type of tail lights you are going to run. If you are going to mount tail lights in the skin you have to be more carefull where you mount the tubing. Sorry I have no pics...hope the info helps
