Keep it techy-ish.
Here's an example:
Kevin, with the new easy access to the ouside skin of the tailgate have you considered adding some big lights for backup lights? With the tailgate down they would provide some nice light on the ground for camping and such. It would be pretty easy to box them in so that they aren't damaged by stuff in the tailgate.
I'll hold off pursing that idea till after I do a rear bumper, so as to avoid putting the lights in a space that would be blocked by the spare.

That is a really cool idea! It would cut down on interior space quite a bit, but I did think about getting rid of the indentation where the license plate used to go so I could have an even thickness straight across, that would be nice.
You could put some of those slick PIAA lights with the external bolt ring in there even if you didn't have inside access.
The big problem I see is the spare tires getting in the way, but what a nice light that would be pointing at the ground...............
surffj62 just posted in the non tech thread (folks are just getting confused now) with another good idea about locking the tailgate box.
I responded with "Actually that is a great thought, the exact same latches are available with built in key locks, at a considerable price increase, even available in stainless at an insane price increase."
Might be something else to keep in mind.
I find that if I just push the little lock button down on the tailgate nobody can figure out how to open the damn thing anyway.
