One jumped into the bed to pull the box in and the other was going to lift it up from the dolly and place it in as to not rub the the bed liner since it was still on a wooden pallet.
Well when one guy was pulling it in, the dolly got under the tailgate and once the vanity top was set into the bed, the truck went down on the dolly. I thought at first that it was just on the edge of the top plastic sicne I had to lift it up to pull it out. I guess the other end was screweded and apparently halfway under the tailgate.
Either way, once I got back home, unloaded and closed the tailgate, I saw the orange and the horrific scratches on the tailgate. I does not appear to have distorted the metal but got the truck pretty good.

Awesome
I tried to buy a MDF, but it was sold as a panel not a board. I purchase a board instead. It might be tougher to carve the mounted area out, but it looks much sturdy.
Paying more than 100 dollar for the plasticky thing that some of them make is just too much.
Thanks for your pictures man.

There are 2 holes in the front face of the seat bracket on the driver's side. I drilled 2 in the same spot on the passenger's side. I used 1.5" drywall screws from the backside of the seat brackets, through the holes, into the MDF. It's been quite a while now since I did this and I've never had an issue.
