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 LJ-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.

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

Customer Reviews
I got the exact results that I was looking for, a practical old school tailgate that opens correctly .
Looks to be high quality. Can’t wait to install it.
I love it I can now open my tail gate.
The concept is easy enough but instructions are not too clear. In this day and age clear pictures ought to be easy to produce. Frankly, an app or some video should be the norm. I had to lower my bumper about 1 1/2 inches. That took some time. SWAG really doesn't prepare you for that. Two of the three aluminum cover plates are too short -- by a huge amount. I have to chock that up to poor quality control. The kit works but. . . .
The factory side swing tailgate was basically useless when open. Swag's fold down conversion completely changed the functionality of the back of my Jeep. It's great to sit on at a bonfire party, a handy table and I've even used it to extend the cargo area allowing me to haul several coolers. Plus, a tailgate party with a side swing tailgate is a lame party.
It was easy to install. Took just under two hours and I didn't even have all the exact right drill bits. I wouldn't own another Jeep with a factory tailgate again.
Thanks, Swag,
