About
The JL Trailgater®is engineered specifically for the 2018-19 Jeep JL Wrangler and replaces the whole plastic inside tailgate cover. It utilizes the same proven design used for our JK Trailgater, has a larger table and cutting board and mounts to the JL tailgate using 9 proprietary injection molded blind nuts. The JL Trailgater also keeps available the 3 mounting points in the center of the tailgate.
Pretty much out of the box you get the Trailgater Table, a set of instructions and a zip lock bag with the screws, washers and clip inserts needed for the Installation.
Installation
Step 1:
Remove the Plastic Cover from the Tailgate. I find it easiest to pull it out where the wiring harness goes through the plastic trim panel.
Step 2:
Insert the 9 Green Plastic Clips in the locations shown below. You can also reference the instructions for the locations as well. At first I thought I missed a spot but they give you one extra.
Step 3:
Prepare the back of the cutting board by putting the foam as close to the edge as possible.
You need to remember to cut out a section with the wiring loom passes to the tailgate. See the image below.
