sorry for the delay .. i have been waaay to busy ..
yes the lid is steel .. bent in one piece ,then welded on the ends,and roof racks,with a support bar underneath.. if you can wait till next week i will get you some pics of the tailgate . basically welded 2'' square tube on the inside and out the bottom then plasma cut the tailgate out . inside the 2'', is a longer length of 1 1/2 with holes drilled out every 3'' welded a nut on the end ,and on the inside of the 1 1/2 is a length of acme threaded rod welded to another nut and a 6'' dia round plate.. about 12'' long so you can screw em in and out.. you get where im goin here... so the outside frame is tied in and doubles as my rear stabilizers.. simple but effective.. im leaving tomorow for a few days of wheeling and camping i'll get your pics as soon as i return... thanx
