It grows on you
 
Hmmmm. The more I see it the more I like it. The lines are clean and it is professionally fabricated. I also like that the spare assembly can be removed, the tailgate lowered and longer "stuff" can be hauled in the back. What are the plans for the "third" tail light, how is it locked / unlocked, and where are you placing your license plate?

I see they used Jeep hinges that are inlign with each other... Is the tailgate 'easily' removed like the doors??? That would be a cool addition. Love the concept and design.

Too bad Jeep doesn't make the tailgate like the old GM Station Wagon/Blazers where it can go down or gate open. That was badass!

That is a great looking unit! How much weight do you suppose it can support? I can see that becoming temporary seat or shelf while camping or stopping for bite on the trails.

I want one and would like to know if they could make a kit so I could have a local shop do the install or myself. You must inquire for curious minds, this is exactly how the drop down tailgate should look like.
