Na im thinking more of keeping it stock looking.. Kinda a bolt on thing...guess im going to have to go to junk yard get one and see what i can do...

 

r u thinking like what a chevy s10 blazer does. tailgate goes down, glass goes up?????

 

yep... something on that line... maybe even glass in door then door down...not sure on exacly what yet... but gona do something...dont like hatch... never have...stupid idea..

 

no it's not a stupid idea. my buddy is doing the same thing. we ripped the tailgate of a s10 blazer apart and are using the hinges and locking mechanism to accomplish this. not finished yet and don't have any pics. sorry. and he has a metal tailgate i think thats the only way to accomplish this task. i plan on doing the same thing when we get his done. makes for a great work bench out on the trails. and bench when looking for a place to sit. might even wanna look at Comanche and how that works. it is possible.

 

well get me some pics please :}

 

hey man i just stumbled across this. http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=557715. it's similar. i'm going to refer to this post when i start on mine. because mine is fiberglass. and instead of doing the pin thing he did u could use hinges. it might be a couple of weeks be4 i can get pics of what we got done so far. and it's no were near finished. so this post might be more helpful.

 

wooohoooo... thanks... I like... going to have to do it :}

 

and that is just about the sicked jeep ever. wish i was a mechanical engineer

 

AGREED!!!!!!

 

WOW that is sweet!
