New Product? Tailgate panel (non-storage) Would this be of interest? (1 Viewer)

[blackohio]

Talking with the guys at Huracan about making some tail gate filler panels that arent storage, just strong durable metal and they said they were thinking about it but it wasnt on the list yet and I mentioned how many would I need to sell in-order to get them to make it?

The attached pic is a s*** photoshop of their storage gate just sans doors. Panel would be powdercoated and include nutserts for mounting + hardware. I dont have pricing yet, but is this of interest to anyone? I'd likely be having 15 100-Series made and possibly a few 80 as well.

I have the Trekboxx on both of my 100s and have loved them, but a metal option that's reasonably priced I think would be a seller.

Covered in OEM carpet.

Why metal over the LineX or richlite versions @TrekboxX sells? Price or function?

[EDIT} Well metal cant really do the Richlite thing so I guess metal versus baltic birch + Linex. Must be a price thing.

I wanted thin, strong and clearance for drawers in the rear.

Your solution looks good - i mentioned price because the existing vendors products are thin, strong and clear drawers.

that’s interesting as my carpet catches the latch at the far end. the trekboxx one i assumed was thicker that the or carpet piece

So it looks like it would run about $180 packaged plus shipping for : Bl;ack powdercoated 2mm steel plates with hardware.

I would have to shoulder this purchase entirely, to get it going so i'd like to maybe do a pre-order, thoughts?
