I know my mar-k tailgate’s spotwelds are so much nicer than the stockers. The stock ones are all over the place along the seams, whereas the MAR-K gate’s are centred and evenly spaced along the whole length. I second Coilover (in regards to their gates anyways).

My 1 ton bed wood and strips/hardware were top notch as well.

One thing I’m curious about is what the reviews will be when they start selling a lot of the 67-72 bed sides. The site says “Mar-K approved product.” What? I wonder if this is an offshore product? 🤔 I contacted them about this and was told it’s checked and approved, but they didn’t actually tell me it was Made in the USA. 🤔🤔

I don’t doubt the other parts are built here at home, but I don’t know if anyone on this side of the Pacific is building these 67-72 bed sides in house. I’m watching these for sure.
