I agree with Jerry Bransford.
Yesterday, I took my daughter to say goodbye to the ranch property where I've been wheeling, hiking and shooting for nearly 50 years. Got the TJ all muddy and showed her a good time. We stopped by the large tank (lake to you furriners) for some shooting. I showed her how nicely the Outback Trailgater table worked for our guns and ammo, while letting me easily reach in and touch the backs of the front seats. I installed it because I missed having the tailgate on my Scouts and 'Cruisers to use as a work area, but I like the Jeep swing out gate, with a folding table, much more than a drop down tailgate, and for the same reasons Jerry mentions. Being able to reach the entire cargo area easily is a big deal to me.
