hey i am going to shave the tailgate to my 1200 ute and was wondering if anyone could tell me how they closed it from the inside or wat mechanism anyone used
thanks nick

have you done a search?? i'm pretty sure there's a thread on here where someone uses door latches, or taken the guts out of a commodore tailgate and used that. then there's the more primitive way of just using a padbolt which you would see on a fence gate or somethin

The only thing to shave is the latches? And maybe the little bumpers.


Tailgate

Nothing is a straight bolt on fit so use whatever you like. Commodore, Falcon, anything. You could probably even use a lever style off a Ranger, Hilux, etc.

personally id shave the whole tub and weld the tailgate shut!

I'm with orange 1200 shave the hole tub n weld it up looks sic

yeah shore shave a few things handles, bumpetts...but weld up the tub WHY WHY looks sh1t and pointless

im with hotrocket, shave the handles dont weld it up, there will be times when you wish you could drop the tailgate.

welded up will make it a 1200 wheel barrow lol but a bitch to empty

bloody good one there john
