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

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.......

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

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...
Re: drop down bench
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
