I have a question for those who care.

I am debating on using a different set of latches for the rear now. I think that spressmon makes a great point. I was trying to figure out over and over how to make my strikers adjustable, but it is going to be quite a complicated build.

I was out playing with the different setups and realized the hold downs i was going to use for the lid of the trailer could perform double duty and hold the tailgate in place as well. However, I loose the key lock and nice finished look of the paddle latches.

What do you think?

I will post up a pic. Thanks for your help with this.
