i like this tailgate idea
it would be good for a blazer...
might also be cool if a manufacturer made one similar as a replacement. maybe if i find a spare gate to try it on, i'll just cut a nice hole and make my own... not a new idea, but pretty well done, i think.

Re: i like this tailgate idea
Well, I bet you'd find plenty of tailgates with rust in that area to cut out... mine is one of those!
 Pretty cool idea though.

Re: i like this tailgate idea
didnt notice it before but with bolt cutters an axe and a shovel doesnt seem like there is much good intentions with that setup.
unless you do concrete and set up footers Cutters: rebar Axe: roots i guess Shovel: dig hole then again im not a lifeguard.

Re: i like this tailgate idea
It also looks like it has lifeguard floatation devices in the bed as well...
