Very nice work.

 

I dig it. Good work as usual

 

what mods did you have to do to the tailgate latches to get that to work i would like something like this on my 79

Looks great Jopey! I love that bronco.

 

Looks like it will work. Just remember, secure all that stuff in the back. In a rollover, those items will come looking for you, and if they found you, it would not be pretty.

 

everything you see in there is already secured. the swing gate is made to make even more stuff secured in there.


as how I did the gate? the previous owner use this bronco for prerunning. the inside was totally gutted out and I was left with a rear gate shell which bolts on. Well in wheeling and camping I do it was a pita to get anything in or out of the bronco. now it will be easy.

 

Huummm....that's funny! I was thinking of swapp in a CJ style swing down gate to my jeep!

nice work...

 

Just added me axle shaft storage to the rear gate.
