Hey, I thought I remember seeing something awhile back about something that makes our trunks harder to break into by thieves. Were they called trunk plates? Who sells then and how do they install and work?
Maybe I'm just remembering wrong. I don't know.

Contact N4GOL, Mark Keiser, to see if he has any more.

If you want piece of mind they are a must. I recently went to a junkyard to get a deck panel for my my buddies CVPI and a wrecked CVPI had its trunk closed so we couldnt get in it. I remembered seeing how if you break the reverse light you apparently can pop it quickly. Thats an understatement. One quick hit with a socket wrench and I reached right in and popped the trunk. Took less than 15 seconds.

As Haggis said, suggest that you contact N40GL to see if this buy is still open.

Just to answer the open question: Somehow, I only have one (1) trunk plate left (I think Troy Products sent me an overage), which will help half of one person's truck. If there is sufficient interest*, I'd be happy to try to pull together another group buy.
FWIW, at the local Sheriff's Department where I serve, the county garage has taken flat plates from a double-gang electrical box and mounted them in there. On the plus side, its cheap and functional, and you don't see it anyway. On the minus side it's klugey and looks awful.
I'll keep track of PMs and if I get near 50 I'll let everyone know.
* = sufficient interest: defn: fifty or more people, otherwise Troy won't cut us a group price.

I'll go as far as this, any member who wants a kit for free, and is willing to pay the shipping, I'll give these away, it's a win/win, they are out of my way, and someone can get some use out of them, I'll have to see how many I have(total).
Once again, shipping will be paid up front, I am still waiting for shipping :mad2:from my last free things that I gave away.......

Similar, they use 1 bolt instead of 2. As of right now, all mine are spoken for, my sale was a success......:D
I'll be able to latch onto 3-8 more sets...
