I like it because it gives me room to put half of a moose cut into quarters in there--With the gate open.
It also gives me a dry place to sleep while hunting. |

It is so short that the factory latch works great.
I am not planning on adding another latch.
If a person didn't trust that, then he could put a thumb bolt on the other side. |

The great thing about the way AkChris is building them, is, It is reversible. Everything is bolt-on. Just have to drill a few holes. |

Can you sit on it or put much weight on it? Is a Zuk tailgate that strong? |

C'mon Pauly.........we know what a 31" spare does to a tailgate and I'm sure you weigh more than that. [img]images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img] |

A 31 rips it from the hinges, doesn't bend them. I've never tired sitting on a gate. And yes, I do weigh a bit more than a 31 inch tire - a little bit more... [img]images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]
Someone needs to incorporate one of those old stationwagon hinges that would allow the gate to open either way. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
