I'm thinking about picking up a 2pc rear hatch for the BII. It has the lift glass and mine doesnt. Guy wants $40 for it, struts are good and there are no cracks or damage to it, I would just have to sand and paint.

So is it worth the $40 or does that seem a little high?

Well, it's prolly worth about $10 in scrap, so 40 sounds good to me.

Since they are somewhat highly sought after, I would say its a good price. Junkyard would charge that at minimum.

$40 it is then. Sounds like a guaranteed $10 for my old one too. Win Win.

I'm going to pick this up today.

That would be the beauty of it. You would only lose like 12-14 inches of the hatch and gain a tailgate to sit on.

That would definitely be cool. I think I'll try it out on my old hatch, that way when I screw it up I wont feel too bad about it. The old one isnt really any good for anything else I guess.

4.0B2- I think he's talking about using a Ranger tailgate. I hear that is a bolt on affair...I think?

I definitely want to try it, I just need to start looking around for a cheap tailgate. I'll get some pics when I get started on it.
