swag!

[redneckboy3479]

@swagit121 that last msg was to you i forgot to put ur name there

[redneckboy3479]

yea but it takes longer to get into i would just rether have the stock tailgate because they r easier to get to and it just swings open

[redneckboy3479]

@swagit121 ok but i still dont see the point to it

[swagit121]

@redneckboy3479

A fold down tail gate has many ideal uses, dinning room table, work bench, changing table, beer holder, cutting board.

[redneckboy3479]

@trailbreaker14 I no what's the point all that's gone do is come unlatched goin down the trail when u go over rocks I think the regular one is perfect cuz it swings open and latches better

[swagit121]

@redneckboy3479

Ours uses the original paddle latch as well as a secondary latch in the upper right hand side. To have it accidentally open on the trail would be impossible.

[Mrtrailbreaker14]

What's the point ????? Doesn't add anything as far as I can tell

[baconANDwaffels]

and what if you have a spare tire?

[Swagoffroad]

@baconANDwaffels

You will need an aftermarket swing out bumper mounted tire carrier.

[2012goingNutz]

Just dont play country music. For the LOVE of GOD!

[staytruestayfit]

where the fuck did you get that?!?!

[wrangler420247]

oooo im gettin that

[armydoc115]

I installed this kit on my '05 TJ and I LOVE it! Easily one of my favorite mods, and it definitely holds the claimed weight. No rattles, no issues, the factory lock works without a single problem. Well, one small issue. The passenger side pin mechanism that holds that side closed is rusting. Any suggestions? Otherwise, it rocks!

[Swagoffroad]

@armydoc115

Keep the toggle latch lubricated to prevent it from seizing up and or rusting. I have running the same toggle latch for 3 years with out any issues.

[Swagoffroad]

@Xxrocker33xX

The only difference in the tailgates is the 03 and up Wrangler have the air vent on the tailgate and steel hinges, where the 97-03 wrangler have the air vent on the hard tops and the tailgate hinges are made of cast steel. 

[lordofwar1234]

What size lift and what size tires is that

[aus2045]

Nice - good work. 

[gjadebohling]

Hey Troy, is this hard to install? I just ordered the TJ kit with premium hinges and i will probably be doing the installment by myself

Thanks

Jade 

[gjadebohling]

Hey troy, I just ordered the TJ with the premium hinges. I was wondering is this hard to install? bc I will pretty much be doing it myself.

Thanks

Jade :)

[deanddelgado]

I support this product to the fullest. I should have done my research before I commented on swags tailgate concept of not supporting a certain amount of weight. Please see his website for further details or questions on his products. Thanks Swag for redirecting me to your website,

[deanddelgado]

Sorry, No harm intended. I''m just calling it like what I observed through the videos. Like I said, Its a very good concept and I would think maybe side mount cables will support the hinges even more. If not, disregard my comment. I do though support your products 100%.

[deanddelgado]

I apologize if I offended you in any way. I''m just calling it the way I observed it through the videos. No harm intended. Like I said, its a very good concept. My opinion though, would you think maybe side mount cables would help support the hinges for safety reasons. I do your support your products 100%.

[kowz4u]

how much and does the lock still work? were do you get this kit.

[Swagoffroad]

@kowz4u

Head over to my website swagoffroad I sell the kit for $160 and your tailgate uses the factory locking mechanism so it will remain lockable and rattle free.

[kowz4u]

@Swagoffroad I like the fact that you can sit on it. with this I can take the chair out. will it get in the way of a on the bumper tire mount . I love this and the art work..

[Swagoffroad]

@deanddelgado

You went to every video I posted and said the same thing. Head over to my website in the installation photos, there is a picture of over 400 lbs sitting on the drop down tailgate conversion kits.

[lovedavdubs]

@Swagoffroad

Hmm I wonder if this guy is one of your competitors lol!

[SuperDwang]

those are some sick wheels and sweet jeep!

[HC2299]

what year is that jeep and what size lift and tires do you have

[Swagoffroad]

@HC2299

Google project White Cracker you can view the full build up of this Jeep in Pirate4x4

[arodgerson]

can you still keep a spare tire on it?

[Swagoffroad]

@arodgerson

You will need to purchase an aftermarket swing out tire carrier to carry your spare tire.

[adamslurch71]

really, I have seen people dong this for years, and they spend maybe $20 in materials, who the hell would want to spend over $250 to get the same results.

[bobbyp10]

bad ass dude

[TWBaltz]

Your tail lights, where did you get them and how much are they? Also, how difficult is the install on them?

[Swagoffroad]

I got them from a truck stop Pilot. They cost $15 each and install with a 4" hole saw. Do a Google search on 4" LED tail lights it has been done a 1,000 times

[madzyzome]

@Swagoffroad Measure twice, cut once. The tail lights are off.

[tonyaltn]

WANT !

[hpimaster14]

thats bad ass

[DallasStars248]

Do 06 wranglers come with locking differential

[ftwneil69]

if it's a rubi then it has front and rear, if not then just open diffs

[RobertPoirer]

nice bro, need to get one of these for my tj, how much is it?

[Swagoffroad]

Head over to the website for additional information and pictures

The TJ and YJ kit retails for $159.

The JK kit retails for $249

[mengle2004]

it is way cool, but where do you put your spare tire?

[Swagoffroad]

You need to purchase an aftermarket swing out tire carrier to carry your spare tire.

[mengle2004]

OK thanks

[Swagoffroad]

Type project white cracker you will bring up a build thread on this Jeep.

[MgorillaB]

what size tires and lift did that jeep have on itt?

[lurch420]

Neat idea. Too bad it isn't rated to hold shit. 260 lbs. just isn't much. Maybe I just need to lose some weight via shin removal. haha

[HollowThrone]

What are the prices of the tailgate conversion kits for the Jeeps.

[Swagoffroad]

$160 for the Jeep TJ or YJ tailgate conversion kit. Flat rate $10 shipping.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Troy

[afsisasotk]

haha 160 lbs? can i get a heavy duty version?

[Swagoffroad]

Sure, The kit is rated to support ~260 lbs.

[afsisasotk]

Oh i am sorry. I could swear he said 160. That still does not leave room for a lady though. I do like this product though. I have a similar tailgate on my CJ.

[fry1903]

wow, thats cool. are you in the pdx area by chance? are those spider webs?

[Swagoffroad]

Thoes are laser cut spider webs.

I do live in Oregon City.

Let me know if you ever need any custom fabrication work done.

[dubstructure]

I like it I do!

But i don't see it's practicality?

I don't see myself reaching over the tailgate to get to stuff in the cab of my jeep...

[Swagoffroad]

Well to each there own.

I use it for holding my cooler, cook stove, baby changing table, help load my heavy dog, and when you stand or walk on the tailgate it helps to load items on my rack on top of the Jeep.

Today we were out playing in the snow, guess where the PB&J sandwiches were being assembled, Yup on the tailgate, plus you are protected from the elements by the glass over you head.

It is one of those items that once you use it you see the practicality of it.

[d44f9in]

dude! perfect work bech out in the woods. driveshaft broke! fix it on your tail gate rather than on the rocks or dirt... tons of uses, just like on a pick up.

good product,

[theonebighoss]

Dammit!!! I thought I had the idea first.... Good design guys. Like the web brackets, pretty cool looking.

[Swagoffroad]

Take a look at our website, or Youtube.

The Jeep YJ fold down tailgate conversion kit is ready to ship.

[bbblank]

that's really cool. you guys gonna do something like that for the yj? or can it work on a yj?

[Swagoffroad]

This conversion kit is intended for Jeeps with an aftermarket swing out tire carrier. Or for those like me who do not carry a spare tire.

This kit will fit all Jeep TJ's and LJ's from 1997 to 2006.

[silentdeath204]

so...wheres your spare? or how would you even carry one? it looks like you couldnt open the tailgate all the way if you had one on there. its really cool but not sure about effective

[Jeepman3000]

nice. thats a really good idea.i would be cool if jeep was pounded into the gate like on a cj
