Not too far off from bobbing my 45 tray back and wanted to look at some tailgate options.

Not really interested in reusing the stock gate as it will just get punished and I'd rather save it for a more tame build.

Only ones I've found are the tiregates which are great, but a little involved and I don't intend to carry a 38inch spare everywhere...

Anyone have any pics that might inspire?
 
I built my own. I have pics in my 1000 page build thread here, but I cam post some pics later If you want.
Made it out of 1x1 square tube, 1/8 in wall. It's sturdy.
Ended up getting a set of jeep hinges, and used spring pins for the latches. Destako has a 700 lb rated latches that I planned on using, but I didn't have the clearance with my swing out. For those from mcmaster Carr.
