I see that the tailgate swap has been done and is straight forward minus the license plate bulbs (which is fairly easy to tackle).

But one thing that I didn't see addressed was the tumbler for the 98+ tailgate. Any way to swap the tumbler? or is this a case of "Just use the electric locks and deal with not being able to unlock the tailgate or keep a separate key for it"

ONLY reason why I care at all is because I don't have a FOB for my EX.
