Yup, exactly why I designed my Aux Work station so the stove is indexed on some pins and can be just lifted right off. My response to people asking for a stove in the drawer like AT does. I won't do it. Neat doesn't equal prudent.
The birch is 1/4, and so is the gatorstep. I was originally thinking 1/8-3/16 backer for the gatorstep, but it's already looking like the gatorstep is going to be a no-go for lack of interest. With the ribbed gate, as you know, you can't do padding w/o a backer.D,
How thick is the birch and Gatorstep? I know your drawers bottoms are raised approx. 1" above the floor, but most mfg doors are all the way to the floor/bottom. So when they opened does it still clear the material. My tailgate lid has a 3/8" overall height and it is really close with some drawers.

Doesn't matter, it doesn't look like there's any interest.
No, I think setting a stove on the gate may be okay(minus the stinky interior) because you can ditch it if need be. But bolting it to the gate is an unnecessary risk imo.
Trail Tailor is already doing that, and looks like pretty well. This is for those that don't want an 80 lb tailgate.
The weight of a aluminum plate adds 23#

I can build whatever, but unlike the tailgate cover, we'd need some consensus of interest. Seeing the overall lack of interest from the 80 owners in general, I'm not sure there's a ton of potential here. I do enjoy doing this stuff, but it is a business, after all!Probably a little late on the conversation but one problem I have in the cargo/tailgate area is the gap between the two. The 100 series resolved this with a bridge that hinged up and down and joins the tailgate and cargo area to make a flush, level backend, like in your photo on post #1. Now it might not be in your realm of work or maybe a too tedious "fix it" product @TrekboxX but I would think a few other guys would be interested in having a solid bridge made of a quality material that worked like the 100 series. Btw, I already have a tailgate lid so the cover doesn't really work for me, but it looks pretty nice.
Hey there! Yeah, these are a hit with the 100 series crowd, but very little interest for the 80. If we can drum up some interest we can do a run of them...I'm definitely interested in one. But looks like the only 80 person that is. I carry my dog around in the back and the carpet has to go.
