DIY Tailgate Ladder - How to Make ( Plus a Welding Gear Giveaway! )
Today I'm making a DIY Aluminum Tailgate ladder for my truck. In the video I'll show how I cut the aluminum, welded it with a spool gun, created some custom brackets, and used some standard hardware to allow it to flip into the truck tailgate and lock in place.
And I'm quite confident some of you might be wondering, is it even worth the effort over just buying one? Well, I will address both the economics of it as well as my thoughts on how just "saving money" isn't the only benefit of doing things yourself. There's often a lot more to be gained from experiences like this if you'll embrace all the aspects of the process!
And lastly...... the GIVEAWAY! Check out my instagram page and todays post for the official rules. Here: https://www.instagram.com/homesteadonomics/
