Has anybody solved the problem with the tailgate. When parked on a hill the tailgate swings closed. I think a hydraulic assist thing similar to the set up in a pardon my language H3 would be perfect but a simple mechanical lock thingy would be just fine in my book. Any pics links or info is appreciated.

Make sure to read through the whole thing. There are several versions of the same thing in there.

 

Thank you for the link. Great stuff

 

Omix-ada (Rugged Ridge) makes a stop that you just twist a knob to lock it in place. I can't find a link right now, but you will see it in the new products catalog that you can download from thier site
