og3r Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I'm trying to find a used tailgate for my mj so i can start painting it. Ive had no luck locally and online. So i tried looking for an aftermarket one but no luck with that. I don't really want to put a net on it because i think it looks tacky. Is there any other options? Any tailgates from other vehicles that would fit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
og3r Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Sigh. More looking and i found some custom ones for like 600. I guess ill just get a net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimoshel Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 It's not that hard to make one. The hardest part would be the latches to work with the original catches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H3RESQ Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Think global. You should be able to hunt the whole of the USA for one at around $50. Shipping would still keep you under $200 Just a thought. Edit.....there pretty easy to steal. JUST KIDDING! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet. Is your old one dented beyond a bondo repair? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinkrun Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 No, it has a dent near the top that has some old bondo chipping and some rust along the bottom its on the truck right now and I use it all the time it does have a little bend overall like something to heavy was on it one time. I will get some pics of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

btm24 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Not aftermarket but is not a MJ tail gate that will fir the MJ with "some" modifications Image Not Found Its off of a J-series pickup.

mkbruin Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I had an aftermarket one on the MJ I just sold (to a fellow board member), but it went along with the 5th wheel hitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boots Posted May 1, 2011 Share Posted May 1, 2011 I had an aftermarket one on the MJ I just sold (to a fellow board member), but it went along with the 5th wheel hitch. I'm gonna guess that it was a pretty small fifth wheel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna guess that it was a pretty small fifth wheel? #23 of 500 made. 17' fiberglass 5th wheel, only weights about 2k lbs and has a bath, kitchen, and 2 queen size beds.
