    Default Looking for:

    Tailgate - Drop-down SII/SIII any color/condition as long as it's serviceable

    Roll Bar - 4point, prefer something that fixes to the chassis but will take one that bolts to the body tub if the price is right, just looking for something to stop her from going all the way over if I flop it on a trail

    Also could use a good set of front springs

    Located Fredericksburg, VA

    Anyone have any of the above close by? Everyone keeps telling me our hosts have used tail gates for $100 but I can't seem to find them anywhere... Just trying to get her ready for MAR.

    You might give RN a call - they suggest having used tailgates in addition to these:

    You might also hold off until MAR - there is usually a parts swap and several vendors (including our hosts- who by the way, have the booth staffed with the nicest people )

    As Nick said, call RN. I got my tailgate from RN, on special. I paid $99 as you said people had told you. It was not used, but rather overstocked. It came from a new Defender. It works and looks great. Pretty good for a $300 part.

    Yorker,

    Sorry to mislead. They might be out of them. And I should mention that I got mine about two years ago. However, I thought I remembered seeing one the the RN salesmen trying to pitch them on the forum recently.

    I may be imagining it though.
