tailgate

Well this sucks...dropped into a hole with a steeper entrance than I expected (knew I messed up when the front bumper landed about simultaneously with the front tires but didn't have time to stop) and caught the spare. I can address the minor tub damage but need a new tailgate. 1. Confirm my...

So, i have a bent tailgate. I purchased the cheap replacement from ebay. Finally getting around to installing it and sure enough, its got some fitment issues. Started with the lock, and a little filing got that in no problem. Then i tested the handle it seems to be .100” deeper than the tailgate...

Hey everyone! I hope this post can give some guidance on what should be an easy install and the issues I ran into with getting my old tailgate hinges off. I recently purchase a Rugged Ridge Spartacus HD Tire Carrier as I expect to move up in tire size and the carrier needed some additional...

Is this much sag from worn hinges? Body tube infrastructure failing? Just bad alignment? Bad Striker location? When I got the jeep it had no spare tire mount or spare so I figure they didn’t have or if they did it was on a tire carrier. Any how, all I have on it is a 31x10.50r15 on an alloy...

I've been looking for a tailgate table that balances cost and function. The Overlander is nice and shiny, but more than I wanted to spend. I caught a sale on the Front Runner Outfitters table (https://www.frontrunneroutfitters.com/en/us/drop-down-tailgate-table-mkiii.html) and figured I'd take a...

Hey y'all, looking for a little guidance on the last mile of wiring this brake light up. I have my wires run through the tailgate and to the inside, and I am wondering whether or not I need to splice into the current wires. I have the old wires that plug into the back of the contactors, and was...

Still in the box MORryde tailgate reinforcement kit for sale. My weekend TJ became a Gladiator daily driver before I could install. I would like to get $150 for this with a local pickup preferred in the Milwaukee Wisconsin area. I will ship if you pay the freight; the UPS ground label says...

I recently added a new rear bumper with swing out tire carrier and noticed the rubber on my tailgate vent was deteriorating and wanted to replace it. I ordered one online and they sent the one pictured in my hand. It has no cover, no outer rubber seal and just flimsy paper to keep dirt etc from...

Hi! I'm a new Jeep owner. Looking for some storage solutions for the TJ that will be out of the way. I ordered these Bestop bags, but I'm reluctant to drill into the tailgate to install. Am I nervous for nothing? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009EVP6QO/?tag=wranglerorg-20 Thanks

Whats a good brand of seals or site that has seals for all the nooks and crannies to keep the rain sleet and snow out of a tj? I have been looking and either they dont fit well from reviews or they reject my payment for some weird reason (maybe out of stock). I want to replace all the seals for...

While I was washing the jeep I noticed the tailgate retainer bar clip was loose, so I went to tighten it down only to find out one of the screws is stripped. Has anyone else ran into this problem and what was their solution? I'm thinking I'll just have to tap it and get some different hardware

31x10.5 on stock tire carrier 2004 tj. since i upgraded to the 31's i had to put the tire on backwards cause it hits the center braker light and lugs dont reach far enough. so the tire doesnt reach the bumpers when its shut. it all was working fine. but now the tailgate is swinging farther and...

I'm looking for the original metallic link that connects the locking cylinder with the locking/unlocking rod, in the Jeep parts catalog it appears as 5507 6011 "LINK, Key Cylinder To Latch", if the complete cylinder and mechanism are available I would still be interested.

One day not too long ago I was killing some time searching various website stores for Wrangler accessories when I found something that did pique my interest. Folding tailgate table. I thought that would be great! While sitting on the trunk or sitting in a chair you had somewhere to rest your...

Anyone running the BedRug rear tailgate carpet? My concern is that my hardtop is not vented but my tailgate is. Placing the BedRug carpet cutout over the inside tailgate will cause the vent to be blocked. This may cause some issues closing doors. Anyone got feedback?

I recently purchased a 2000 Sahara TJ Wrangler. It did not come with any spare tire rack or attachment screws or bumpers. I want to replace stock OEM Spare Tire Rack with 4 impact bumpers and all mounting screws. Im having trouble finding the correct size and availability for some of the...

Has anybody gotten anything for tailgate security? There's a Tuffy one that I'm considering getting: https://www.extremeterrain.com/tuffy-tailgate-security-enclosure-9706-tj.html I like to leave a bag with some jumper cables, tire plugs and now that I have one, a bottle jack and a tire iron...

I need to get rid of some TJ Parts, looks like I’m moving soon. If you don’t like my price, make me an offer. I’ll probably have these for sale on my local CL too. Front Bumper in great condition, no dents. I actually want to keep this, but don’t want to move it ($30+s/h) Stock hinges in Flame...

Hi members, Just bought myself a new (old) TJ and by the looks of it I don't have a tailgate. Was this an option for 2000 Sahara's? Pictures attached, but I'm not sure if it was a modification from a previous owner or if it came like that. Haven't seen any other Jeeps like it. Pictures...

I have a 2006 Jeep (TJ) Trail Edition and am looking for trunk security that will allow me to keep my rear seat installed. Anyone have information to share? Everything that I have found (so far) will not work. This model/body style has a longer trunk space due to the Trail Edition (2' from back...
