Been waiting for an update on this. Wondering how you fit you retrofitted the latches . I did the same on my LJ but now tailgate has play since latches are tight enough. Looking forward for a continuation on this
Great job. Thank you. I have been thinking g of doing the same thing on my 91 YJ.
Did you ever get the quick latches to work?
Did you get the latches figured out?
I want to do this with my JKU – I know keep would need a spare swing away from factory but I don’t understand why Jeep don’t do a drop down tail gate from factory
I hate torx bolts. After one got stuck on me when i bedlined my jeep (took out all backseat brackets/seatbelts) I declared war. I replaced every torx bolt I could find on my jeep. Windshield ones were also a pain, some needed to be drilled out. But no more torx!
Well that was pretty damn cool! Hardest part maybe putting those latches in the tailgate!
When you were torching loose the hinge screw, wasn’t the EVAP canister (behind the rear passenger corner panel) in your way? Thanks for posting, great video!
