Default Which Tailgate Lock?

Anyone have a POP Lock or Bully lock? Anything else out there you have bought or seen? Chime in, I need a lock since I'm buying a cover to replace the one that got ripped off a month ago! I really don't want ugly locks protruding up from the cover, I'm buying the Checker Pro FX flush style like the one I had. Thanks guys.

Tailgate Lock

This is the one I use, it looks stock and installs easy. It is installed on the truck and stays there.

I have a bully lock and really like it. Can't even see it unless you are looking for it.

I have the pop a lock that has an actuator tied to the factory key fob. I Love It. I also have a rolling toneau cover, so my bed is like a huge trunk.

The one I have looks like the one mzoomora has...it was cheap and it works well, I think it's made by Bully. I used to have the Pace Edwards Powergate tailgate lock, but the solenoid seized in the lock position on me twice, and that was enough.

I have the bully dog and no complaints. I mainly got it to keep my tailgate and taillights safe. I sanded it smooth and had the body shop paint it and it turned out really nice

Yeah, mine is the bully lock, just looked at the key.

Ir pisses me of that GM doesnt put them on from the factory, ford and dodge do. Not that it is expensive or anything, but it is one more kep clutering you ring.
