Before that, it was the Chevy Silverado’s integrated bumper step. The next Ram thinks that’s all really cute.

According to a Chrysler patent filed last year and recently dug up by enthusiasts at Allpar, Ram Trucks will maximize tailgate functionality like no truck has before. Chrysler has drafted a split-door design that allows either half to independently pivot at the bed or swing outward like barn doors. L-frame brackets on both sides use a pair of electromechanical locks attached to the box that permit the horizontal or vertical motion. garage door repair cambridge ukPress the first of two buttons on the desired tailgate, and the entire L-frame detaches from the box and lets that single door fall. cheap upvc french doors scotlandHit the second button and the L-frame locks in place, allowing the same door to swing out on a pair of hinges.outdoor patio furniture syracuse

Press these buttons on the left and right halves and a locking pin allows both to swing down together, like a conventional tailgate. All told, the tailgate can be operated in any of eight combinations when you include the ability to lay down a door while swinging the other open. Chrysler said it also could manufacture the tailgate to open in 60/40, 65/35, or 70/30 splits.

Chrysler also mentioned the possibility of proximity sensors and a pair of electronic controllers on each door, all of which would drive up repair costs and further complicate an otherwise simple part. But even given all that, we’d count on spotting this nifty tailgate at job sites in the future, possibly as soon as the Ram 1500’s scheduled full redesign for 2017.

The barn door is a fiberglass "upper" that attaches to the factory tailgate, and eliminates the swing up liftgate glass - the entire barn door opens as one piece. I'm in the process now of building a JK barn door, designed to work with the the factory hardtop. Here's a few concept drawings of what it would look like. The barn door will be made from fiberglass, and will include a provision for a wiper, just like the TJ/LJ version: I've begun work on the mold masters, and plan to make molds in the next two weeks and if things go well I hope to have a first prototype barn door molded by the end of the month. There are a few design questions I've got that I'd like your input on... for example, there are two different width hatches on the JK - the '07-'10 JKs have hatches the same width as the tailgate, while the '22-present hatches are 6" wider than the tailgate. I've got several different design approaches for dealing with this difference and I'll post some drawings of each approach soon for your comment and input.

"Whether you think you can do something or you think you can't, you are right" Join Date Oct 2013 Location St. Paul, MN Two things that I can think of that might be nice with this- adding in a factory-looking 3rd brake light and a interior tailgate latch. Seeing out through the rear glass is already a pain with an oversized spare and the giant wiper motor enclosure. Moving the wiper to the bottom, like you're proposing, opens up some real estate. Adding a small LED 3rd brake light at the top of the window frame would allow many of us to remove the factory one and really open up the rear view. And on the subject of opening- those of us who camp in the back of our jeeps could benefit from an interior latch on the tailgate. I know that there are how-to's out there on adding a pull-cord, as well as the potential safety of such a device, but perhaps something could be incorporated into the top section where it meets the latch housing to create a more factory-looking and safer option.

Oh- and if you really want to get dreamy- extend the mounting bracket to cover most of the interior tailgate and incorporate a fold-out table! Join Date Dec 2005 There is a lot of little stuff going on in this bad picture that might give you some ideas.... -The prop rod is really interesting. It keeps it open. It keeps it from closing. You could use it to dry some gear out. It is up above your head I think so it doesn't get in the way. -There is a fold down table I think. -The small secondary ledge near the window is interesting. I would love to see a full replacement door also. Inside/outside handle as mentioned. Maybe some storage in the door behind the table. Make the table the door for the storage. Maybe make a fold up mini-kitchen instead of a table....small sink/bowl thing, mini-stove, etc. My Unimog camper thoughts and ideas.... Originally Posted by daryn1979 I'm looking at the idea of a small LED third brake light mounted either on the top of the barn door, or on the hardtop above the door.

Haven't decided what might work best yet, but it's definitely a good idea to remove the factory third brake light to increase visibility. I did that with my LJ Safari Cab, see the photos in the first post. Interesting idea about the inside latch, I'll look into it. Originally Posted by Metcalf About the fold-down table, and a little storage, how about this? It's a previous project of mine, I call it the StoreGate. In the above photo I'm test fitting it on a JK tailgate. I've got two different versions, on my Jeep-tub trailer I mounted a locking storage/fold-down table version, and on my LJ I've got one with a bungee net to hold the cargo in place: Join Date Feb 2013 Mr Scherb at it again. I dont have any input, just encouragement and i'm sure it will be awesome. The prop-rod is an interesting concept, although I believe 2012+ JKs have a door stop built in. I could definitely see it being useful for earlier models, though. As far as the table, I personally would not be interested in one with a cabinet behind it.

I would find it more useful to have a larger table and have it flat with MOLLE slots so that I can outfit it to my needs. The way I see it, if you are adding a frame around the window that is wider at the base, that additional space could allow you to increase the size of the table. My lame paint pic shows what I mean- the grey is the original tailgate and the green is your barn door attachment... Oh- and of course, if you need a product tester, I'd be happy to offer my assistance! Looking at a JK during lunch I think the door is too 'thin' to benefit much from in door storage. The JK pretty much needs about every extra inch on the inside so I wouldn't make the door any thicker, or add storage to the face after looking at it again. Join Date Jul 2009 I am extremely interested in what you come up with, and I think this would make a very, very good addition to the Ursa Minor J30 (& Habitat). They both use the earlier, narrow rear glass, as their mold for the hard top was made before the wider window came out.
