... if you do that still have the stinger sticking out of it...

I think a downwards folding tailgate would be great as well... you would have to have some decent attachments at the top for when it's closed...
otherwise the stinger wouldn't be too useful

yea i think thats the way to go plus i could sit on it when its down but i think i will go for a half tail gate

well before i went ahead with a half tube rear tail gate i thought i would cut out the old tail gate,i must say i think i will go for a half tube tail gate with sheet between the tubes to stop things falling out if/when i put things in the back.

had the tyres fitted today so i took the dog for a walk so i could flex the truck up to see if they catch on the rear,they clear the driverside but catch on the passenger side(the axle is pulled to that side with the panard rod,must fit my adjustable one),other than that the rear is all good

loaded ready to go get them fitted
Image
all fitted and on the way home
Image
