JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default Anyone Padded the Inside of the Tail Gate

4 Door, silver here, realized the inside of the tailgate is getting beat to hell from skis, tools, random junk back there, seems sort of a wierd place for Jeep to be painted, but I digress...

Anyone ever pad it up with some sort of rubber/foam/what have you? --- Not that it ultimately matters what the inside of the tailgate looks like, but things do like to clank off the metal surface, kind of annoying.

I assume that simple padding would get torn up too. I Hurculined mine when I did the rest of the interior.

If your looking for padding/storage the Smittybilt tailgate gear works great!

Perhaps you could cover it with a thick felt-like material or buy some JK carpeting, mount it with adhesive or something like snaps. Then it would match too.

I think that is the ticket right there. Give me somewhere to put Snatch straps, first aid kit and random stuff of that ilk.
