Tail gate replacement
Well I did a bit of a steep drop off at Katemcy 4X4 run this last weekend and fairly put the woop to my tail gate. All bent up. rear tire caught on a rock on my way down. well its either time to get the rubber mallet out or find a replacement for the gate. I looked most places on the web. and not but one, that I could find. Anyone know of a replacement web site for a bit of research? ? most of the gates are for earlier models. more air venting than needed

Thats the problem alot of us are having. The JKs are still too new to find an abundance of used or junked parts. In a couple more years we will have the same advantage as TJ and YJ owners

Thanks for the posts. I believe the best choice is through the dealer. better get out the gold I've been hording 
. I'll post what I find out concerning replacement. good info about the hinges.
