LOL I used to drive with my tailgate down... but for a diff reason - I was hiding my license plate. In PA, you can put a car plate on a truck as a temp... until you get the real truck plate. I got pulled over in NY state (used to live on the border) at LEAST 15 times in one month, b/c they'd never seen anyone do it.
After all that hassle, I drove around w/ the tailgate down so the plate wasn't as noticeable.
On that same note, though, I always had a lop of plywood bolted to the rear half of the bed, as well.
