Jeep Wrangler "Flat Back" Aluminum Drop Down Tailgate Conversion Kit

TAILGATE NOT INCLUDED

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 and 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. The kit installs with minimal shop tools and no welding is required for installation

The SWAG drop down TJ-YJ tailgate is CNC laser cut from 3/16" 6061-T6 aluminum plate that provides superior corrosion protection and reduces the total overall weight. Each drop down tailgate kit comes standard with stainless steel fasteners for sleek appearance. We used the very best hinges in the industry.

This kit will work with any aftermarket 3/16" corner armor. This product is shipped in bare raw aluminum and will need to be powder coated, painted and or left raw aluminum. A solid aluminum bottom panel will be supplied with every drop down tailgate kit sold.

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.

NOTE: This kit does not include a complete tailgate.

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.

SWAG TJ-YJ DROP DOWN TAILGATE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Was not excited at first to lose my swing out tailgate but after stretch and new side armor i did not want to notch for old hinges. But now after installing it and using it for a few days I see the advantages. I own a flatbed truck and it's the same concept as you always have a place to set things down, like your beer. tools or anything that needs a flat surface. The quality is top notch and I know because my brother ordered and installed the moto bilt one around the same time. This tailgate is quite a bit cheaper and exactly the same high quality as the motobilt one. I will note that according to Google 95-% of 304 stainless is made by China and there is just no way around that at the moment. The hinges are definitely American made and plenty strong enough for the intended application. Anyone posting a negative review either didn't understand that this is a conversion kit and not a replacement tailgate or has no clue that America has lost so much manufacturing to China and that there are certain things that simply aren't made in America yet but hopefully soon will be.

Nice product

Overrated

Idea and price are enticing but that’s where the positives end. Cheap hinges, Chinese stainless panels and generic fitting. Online pictures look much better than in person. Customer service is lacking as well. Will never order from SWAG again.

As a retired combat veteran, I stand by my work, confirmation of crap parts and interactions with the company.

Clark,

We appreciate your feedback.

That being said, our policy is to respond directly to reviews that contain misleading information regarding our products. The hinges are made of 304 Stainless steel by Kentrol, an American company. These are aftermarket Jeep hood hinges that are frequently used by Jeep owners specifically because they are more robust than the OEM Hinges. They come with a lifetime warranty from Kentrol.
The tailgate plates are made of 1/8' Aluminum, not stainless steel, and they are cut out right here in Oregon. When an order is placed, the customer selects the year of their jeep, the tailgate plates are cut specifically to fit that year jeep.
In regard to the claim of lacking customer service, we have had exactly one interaction with you. You emailed us on July 7th at 2:38pm requesting a return. You did not mention your complaints regarding the product in that email. In fact, you requested the return specifically because 'you wanted a full tailgate, not just a drop down kit because your tailgate is damaged beyond repair,' (which I assume is why the aluminum panels didn't fit on your Jeep.) We responded on July 7th at 3:08pm, (half an hour later,) with return instructions and information regarding our refund policy. You never responded to that email or returned the product. I try not to assume intentions from bad reviews, but the combination of false information regarding our product and our interaction via email leads me to question if this negative review is really just because we do not offer free returns?

If you have any questions, feel free to send us an email at sales@swagoffroad.com

Thank you,
SWAG Off Road

Great product

Really like the kit makes the tailgate so much more functional. The instructions could have been a little more detailed for the particular installation (Flat back). But it is a great product. Saved me a lot of time in fabrication.

Flat back tailgate

Very nice indeed. I didn't realize however that I'd need to cannibalize my factory tailgate, and I sold it so now I'm temporarily stuck. My bad, but it fixable in the end !.
