    Rares lower tailgate???

    I was going through the Rares online and see the lower tailgate is listed as original thickness 1mm.... Is this a new tailgate that replaces the flimsy crap being sold previously??

    has anyone got one of these tailgates and if so what are they like???

    They are thicker steel, but Greg Barker told me they are a limited run so once they are gone that is it for now.

    WTF.... Why would they do that????? A limited run of a better quality part and then back to supplying crap..... Yep... Makes total sense...

    It makes a change from simply supplying crap though.

    You having second thoughts on stripping back that awesome NRMA tailgate?

    Yes mate, decided it looks better on the shed wall and I can't bring myself to have at it with paint stripper. I have ordered a new thicker steel tailgate so will see how much better it is if at all.

    The young guy up Forbes way bought one of those skins I think. Was Miles his name? Username V6hqute or something like that.
