I am reviving this from the dead to defend my decision on the tailgate... I was 16 when I built this Jeep, it was my first build, and my execution alone should hopefully make some of you shut up and run home to mommy. Anyway, i wanted it to be removable and wanted to easily access things in...

Thanks for the plug man.

what is this sunny and dry you speak of?! :looney:

Nope, I havent gone around to buy one... and now im selling the jeep, so no reason for me to buy it. I originally planned on making a rear bumper with a swing away tire mount, or just mounting it on the rack... either way, no use for me to do it now.

Definitly alot of stares, still havent gotten use to it!

Dont mind at all, I proud to be able to say that I have paid for it all myself so yea... but uhh it was 350, he even installed all the snaps on the truck! But it was a guys shop in brush prarie, he runs it out of his house... I can get back to you with a name soon.
