    I might need to put this in the wanted to buy forum but I have faith in sparky and his super mod ablities if i put this in the wrong place lol. I need a new tail gate for my 62 willy's jeep but all the replacments have jeep or are just plain. Does any one still make the willy's ones and if so who. I think "willy's" small stenciled look just looks better then the big ballon "jeep" on the tail gate. Thanks in advance.

    Yeah, I think it's Omix Ada, but from experience, you're not getting much for your $104. I ordered one, and it literally weighed in at HALF :shock: the weight of the original, and was MUCH thinner gauge stock. Doesn't even have the solid bar through the top "roll". I was afraid to sit on it, much less drop something heavy on it. :(

    I traded it back in for some other items I was needing, and paid a metal bumper friend to get my old one back in shape. He cut out the rust spot, patched, and straightened it back out. Not perfect, but a whole lot better than it was, and considerably stronger than the "replacement". Still gotta prime and paint it.

    Just doing my thing to rid the world of crappy replacement parts....

    Well mine isnt in fixable shape and I have a truck so the jeep isnt going to be used for any kind of work.Thanks for the heads up on it because its nice to know what you are getting though. Man I never checked out krage's before but i have heard yall talking about them before,I think they are going to get my next order. I told my friend about them last night which he his restoring a mb And he called me back and told me he had ordered 430 bucks worth of stuff he hadnt been able to find. So thanks billy
