YJ-TJ Drop Down Tailgate Conversion Kit

The only kit out there in the market that converts your factory swing out tailgate into a drop down tailgate. This robust drop down tailgate conversion kit is designed to easily hold over 400 lbs. This kit is compatible with your factory hard or soft top, so you can easily keep water out and or thugs out of the back of your Jeep.

The tailgate conversion kit uses your existing tailgate latch mechanism so your tailgate will remain lockable and rattle free.  Installation is a snap and is 100% bolt on with the exception of 6 drilled holes 2 in the tailgate and 4 below the tailgate to mount the hinges.  The kit installs with minimal shop tools and no welding or metal fabrication is required for installation

Engineered to last with quality hinges and cablesall metal brackets are shipped unpainted and are laser cut out of, 1/8",3/16' steel and formed on a press break. Stainless steel fasteners are supplied to eliminate any potential rust.  This kit will work with any aftermarket 3/16" corner armor.  There is ~ 3/4" of forward/backward adjustment on the toggle latch in the upper right corner to compensate for corner armor that does not have cut out for the factory hinges.

Your spare tire will need to be attached with an after market swing out tire carrier. This kit is compatible with either a bumper mounted tire carrier or a tub mounted tire carrier.  There are dozens of designs and manufactures to pick form depending upon your requirements and the amount you are looking to spend.

A drop down tail gate has many ideal uses, here are a few that previous customers have sent to us.

  • The ultimate off road work bench trail repair station,its always with you
  • The perfect place to set the Coleman camp cooking stove.
  • When it rains I can lift up the hard top glass and sit on a dry tailgate.
  • With two kids In diapers, it is the only flat spot on a Jeep.
  • What good is a tailgating party with out a tailgate.
  • Take the rear seat out and I can easily sleep in the back.
  • It is a great place to sit and watch people after I've broken my Jeep.
  • A great place to set my tool bag, and have a trail side picnic.
  • Who needs a drop down tailgate, I love getting hit in the back when parked on a hill with my swing out factory tailgate.

This is my second kit from Swag, the first was on a yj the second on a tj.They both were super easy to install, very durable, and adds a cool look. Troy is the man for designing this and I won't own another jeep without one. Great job!

I am pleased to say that my tailgate conversion went off without a problem. The kit was installed on my 2006 LJ and the only difficulty I encounted was finding the "backing plate" to install the lower half of the hinges. Overall I can say that I am pleased with the fit and finish of the installation!

The kit is great. It makes my otherwise useless tailgate, useable! Installation was straight forward with precise, easy to follow instructions. I have a 1" body lift, and had no problems installing the lower hinge nut plates through the body. My kids love it too. They sit on it just because they can. I highly recommend this kit.
