Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Tailgate Covers

Works great but the top line will sag and buckle with any weight in the bags. Had to bolt on a steel cover so that it didn't look like stretched out underwear.

I like how it looks and cleans up the limited trunk space a jeep wrangler has. There are how ever things I would like to see improved sugh as nutserts or something better then sheet metal screws, and less molle straps the little pouch has 5 makes it less detachable or reattach able for those times needed.

Pretty easy to install, just make sure you pull it very tight. Pre-drill holes a bit larger that it recommends so you do not snap off the tip of the screws when using. If installing on 2014 Wrangler, just remove the plastic cover over the wiring harness as there is a channel along the door that the wires will stay in and then you will not have the bum of the plastic cover to worry about. I was able to use the screws that came with the product although they are pretty cheap and can break easily.

I received a 2010 model and the tail gates are just slightly different than the 2013. However, easy fix, install and looks great.

Installed on my 2014 JK after having great results from the seat storage in my 96 XJ. The only part that was a little unsettling was that you have to drill holes in the tailgate to mount the "backing" that the bags attach to. It's not tough but drilling holes in a jeep before I made the first payment wasn't what I planned on. The good thing though is that it mounts perfectly and since it's screwed into the tailgate it ain't going anywhere!

good Product

The big item is the alice/molly attachment point that you screw into the tailgate. I found it didn't quite fit square on my TJ. Specifically around the tailgate's catch mechanism. I made it fit and I'm very happy to have a place to attach any Alice/Molly style bags.

This is an excellent product, well made and perfect fit. In addition to it's storage capabilites, it cuts down the flow of air thru the Jeep as it hides the vents on the tailgate. Personally, I like this feature as we live in the cold mountains of Colorado.

only con I can see with this product is finding where to buy extra pouches without buying the whole seat or overhead systems

I use it for my first aid kit and car supplies(jumper cables, gloves, ect). I like the ease of access, and it looks great too. Comes with the 2 bags, but you can easily buy more bags from military supply stores or online.
