WTB: 03-06 Khaki Colored Tailgate

[Chris]

I'm looking for a tailgate from an 03-06 Jeep Wrangler. It must be khaki in color (I don't want to have to have it repainted), and it should be free of any damage (dents, dings, rust, etc.). Ideally the paint would be in really good shape as well.

Note that it must be an 03-06 tailgate with the vents in it.

If you have one, please let me know. I found one in California for $350, but it looks like they only allow for local pickup on their site.

What is local? There should be enough CA folks that someone might be close enough to snag and ship it.

We have a pretty good network of jeeples north of Fresno if it's anywhere in NorCal.

Looks like they are in Marysville, CA:

Their website only lists an option for local pickup. They may ship it though. I'll have to call them on Monday and see if that's something they can do. Maybe they just don't want to list shipping prices on their website, since calculating dynamic rates for large objects can be cumbersome at best.

Yes, looks like it's in Marysville, which appears to be NorCal.

If the seller won't ship, and someone can get the tailgate from Marysville to Redding, I can take it the next leg north (how far north depends on weather, time and what else I can accomplish during the trip.)

Muchas gracias! I'll give them a buzz on Monday and see what they say.

This is what happens when you have an oversize spare tire and decide to back-up, not realizing there is a huge concrete pillar in the way (it was a support beam for an overhead bridge). I feel stupid not knowing it was there.

Anyways, didn't do any other damage, but managed to hit the spare tire hard enough that it caved in a portion of the rear tailgate, causing it to bow, and now it's a bit more difficult to shut. Been living with it like this for months now, and it's finally time to fix it.

Marysville is a 2 hour drive, so not too bad. I also have a few jeep friends in Sacramento which is even closer. @Thunderhead is in Orland and @Rob5589 is West Sac. We'll figure out a way brah.

Sounds good! I don't know why they wouldn't ship it, so I guess we'll see.

I'll just have to mention that if they do ship it, I'd like it packaged well. I'm willing to pay more for this one since the paint looks to be near perfect, which would save me having to paint it.

I have delivery trucks in Marysvile on Tuesdays and Fridays that could get it to Orland

Now we are talking teamwork! I guess I’ve got a good back up plan if they won’t ship it! Thanks guys!
