2 piece rear hatch

[whocares]

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.

Is your hatch metal? Mine is fiberglass.

 

[whocares]

No, mines fiberglass. I think they all were. I just figured Adam was joking about the $10 in scrap so I went with it. lol

I just paid 50 for one delivered, so def worth it. I was actually thinkin bout hackin mine in half, adding a tailgate. So I could have a hybrid hatch.

i thougt about the tailgate idea myself... but then i realized i like my shade maker, rain blocker of a liftgate!!! lol hahaha

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.

true.. hmmm..i'm already trying to figure out if i can make some smittybilt bumpers fit for a tj or yj.... i'm gonna look into the tailgate mod. how close is the width of a original bronco to the b2??? the skin of the original would look awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[whocares]

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?

Even tho I'm gettin the other hatch, I've stiil got another B2 to try this on.

I think It'll be pretty cool, so post pics if you do it.

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.

I don't think there is such a thing as a cheap tailgate
