ETA of Alpha Tailgate Reinforcement

[Cleoncini]

Except it's bare metal and will cost $150 to powder coat...................

You missed the main point about two exits back. Soooo American made, holds a heavier wheel/tire, can be rattle canned, OR you can pay the $150 to powder coat it any color......... still a better deal.

Could also look at Rusty’s as it’s American made as well.

The Motobilt might be a monster strength-wise, but looks certainly aren't it's strong suit.

@TeraFlex thank you for the update. I’m assuming $799 is for the hinge reinforcement and tire carrier. What is the price for the hinge reinforcement alone?

With the increased size of the hinge to go all the accross the tailgate the cost is greater than the JK.
$799 will be the cost of the hinge alone, $1115 will be the hinge and the adjustable mount.

Thank you for clarifying.

Sounds like a fair price for a properly engineered piece of kit. Wish it would support a 40" tire.

We will for sure be doing some testing with a 40" tire, just as we did with the JK with great results. We will definitely let you know the results.

When can we expect some more information, like accessories and whatnot?

At this time only the CB bracket and the Hi-lift bracket will be the only accessories available. We hope down the road to bring a few more out for sure.

I'm very interested in the hinge plus hi lift. Do you have any pics of them together? And does it clear a hard top window?

Currently we don't, but we will be sure to add some photos with the accessories to the website upon release.

Do you have an updated weight limit for this? I'm interested in holding some rotopax off the jack if still possible.

Also, what size tire will work with the hi lift mount?

We don't have a specific weight limit, but have tested with the jack and rotopax and it is solid.
