Rob one think for all to note since this is effectively a Tailgate V Rear doors thread would be i found with a tailgate mounted spolier it meant that a bike rack could NOT be fitted to the door which to many could be an issue, just thought it worth mentioning.... The reason i had wanted barn doors was obvious really as when opened they are the full height of the hightop meaning that when you stepped up into your kitchen you wouldn't need to bend down to get under a tailgate whilst also making far better use of the lwb space in the hightop to store stuff
You know they say tailgates are better why ???
The only reason i can honestly see is they may or may not shelter you from the rain, to me i wouldn't be out in th rain anyway, so that kind of ruins that chain of thought, besides the barn doors with a simply made cover much like the old splits had over the barn doors would do the same job only better sheltering you on 3 sides either way you have an opened door......
It's another of theses myths that apparently YOU must have to be part of the cool crew along with 2.5's, lowered suspension the list is growing...
