Offroad-Express

thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and follow the lead of some of the other TJ owners and pop a bench off my tailgate. Handy for the little single burner cookers and cooking bacon in the bush for lunch........ mmmmmmmmmm [in homer style] fooooooddddddddddd.......









A bit of wood, four 85mm hinges from 3 brothers ITM (who were 2.50 EACH cheaper for the hinges, per pair, than Bunnings!!!) And a meter of chain with welded links.... total cost... $33.00

nice...

And its even level!!!!!!!!!

They say that Jeeps are built and not bought, just adding to the legacy.

I might be copying that some day

another reason i should buy a tj..mmmmmmmm

lol......... theres still one in particular on TM.........

got one on the inside of the big rear door of my saf very useful

Shame the TJ auto doesn't fit the XJ; I know someone who needs an XJ auto and it would make room for a nice manual in the TJ

I was looking at it again just now as it looks like I might, if all goes well, have 2 people fighting over the Mini. I just couldn't settle for a 3 speed auto when there is a 5 speed manual version to be had though.

Good stuff XJ. I've seen another version that creates an enclosed box when closed and opens up to a large 'tool kit' mounted inside which looked very handy.

Great to use what space is available and the tailgate should shelter the cooker from the wind too

they seem to work just a treat, like i said, im just imitating what others before me have done. hopefully it doesnt collapse!!!

I varnished mine for easy cleaning also put heat shrink over the chain to stop it from rattling

Heat shrink... theres another idea!!!!!

friken nice setup there...
still not sure weather to do this to mine in the boot area only and leave the back seats in place... or do it to the whole rear area and keep it a 2 seater, that way can sleep in back...

Cheers J_Dub You could alsays keep the rear seats and have a sliding top board so when you fold the seats down you can slide it out to make a bed if I had a long wheel base rig thats what I would do
