Looking forward to this! Can be an impromptu baby changing table when on the road ;)
Thanks, The next prototype will be ready in about a week....I'm hoping for near production model quality so I can start seriously testing it.

Hi, Doc. I like the design and, if it's comparable in price to the Mopar version, I'm in! One suggestion. It would be good if you incorporated a red cross in the design of your first aid pouch. The addition of a red cross would leave no doubt as to what it was.

Looking good. I've been holding off on a tailgate table for this one.

Thats the beauty of the Front Velcro panel....you can pull off our logo and slap on any identifiers that you want.

I have not seen the latest price quote from our engineer yet....I made some small but significant changes on the last prototype and I'm not sure how much I jacked up my production cost. I've seen a wide variation of prices for the OEM table and I am pretty sure that we should land right in the middle of those prices.

Looking good. I've been holding off on a tailgate table for this one.
Thanks man!! I appreciate the patience....we want to make it is good as possible before releasing it.

Thanks for the reply, Doc! I didn't realize that was a velcro strip. Problem solved!

This looks awesome. I had a tailgate table on my JKU and it came in really handy. This looks like a really well built product.

The only thing I'm not a fan of is the giant logo. I get it that you guys want to advertise your company name on it, but our Jeeps are becoming rolling advertisements. A subtle logo in a corner is something I can deal with, but with a logo that large, it's unfortunately a no-go for me.

I will not be participating in this forum as of 8/31/2018. It's been a fun ride, but it's time to move on. Take care. - Dustin

I said the same thing. I am not a fan of large logos on pretty much anything...

Yeah...I get it. But here are the reasons that it will likely not change.

1) It actually is functional by allowing air to flow to the vents in the door....basically its important if you want your doors to shut properly with the hard top on.

2) Its sublimated....black on black. I agree on the grey it is obnoxious....on black it is fine.

3) 99.9% of the time you will never see it because the table portion covers it when closed....which it will be most of the time unless you are some sort of tailgating maniac.

I was excited to see this as well since I'm looking for something like this but I must agree with the others who are pointing out the size of that logo cutout. It would look a lot better if you reconsidered the size of that thing. Best of luck with the product, though!
