What Tailgate Table do you run?

[Springtail]

One of the appeals to the Springtail is that it maintains the air-flow of the cabin by not blocking the back one-way air vents.

Honestly That really does nothing. I have the Outback Adventures table and I noticed no difference in anything airflow wise with or without those vents.

Yes and no...we did a lot of testing during the genesis of our table and had a lot of concerns about blocking the air vents. We found that the gap provided by the spacers was adequate to provide the needed air flow. With the hard top on....the is a notable difference when shutting the doors. Soft top....not so much. However....what most people do not realize is that this is also an aid during the use of AC/Heat, the vents also aid in moving air through the vehicle.

I would guess that the pop-outs for your hinge and upright locking mechanism provide enough airflow.

Wonder how good this knockoff one is? https://amzn.to/2tJolzD

Has anyone tried this yet? For the price it's worth a shot and still leaves some money in the bank if it needs something to fix it up.

Interesting - it's definitely priced where they all should be. The one review I saw for the JL model (read each review header carefully to make sure it's not JK or another product) wasn't encouraging about broken cables, but I agree for the price you may be able to address that. Maybe see if you can crimp the fittings further before ever installing, sounds like his just pulled out.

Let us know!

I recently installed the Front Runner tailgate table. Well built and closes up super tight so no rattles.

Did it come with the red table, or did you paint it? I can only see the natural colored one on their website.

Dang, I'm sold. I've been debating several options and I think we have a winner

Curious about this one. Weight limit says 80lbs but I don't trust it. Thinking it would be good for a stove though.

@Bril I have one on order. Supposed to be here Monday. I was told the later ones come with JL specific hardware. Is this true?

I recently installed this table on my JL and has been great. Install was super easy and closes up tight for no rattles. I have not put near 80lbs on it, but have pushed on it pretty good and seems very solid. For the price I figured i'd give it a shot. So far, it has been well worth it.

Yes it has hardware included for JK or JL installs. Easy install with the right tools.

Man these copies are so blatantly reverse engineered Mopar tables....the Chinese are masters at copying anything.

I'm not necessarily bashing it and I don't feel bad for Mopar - about $80 is where their table should sit, too. As long as you produce Rolexes you can bet there will be knock-offs - some good and some bad

As an aside, anyone who has the slightest interest in Chinese products should read Poorly Made in China, it explains a lot about their business and manufacturing culture. It's nothing like the U.S.

I've made my own from a metal shoe rack and black painted furniture hinge. Painted all parts black and screwed to tailgate's plastic with S/S screws. Added DIY magnetic latch and nylon coated steel cables from old laptop lock. Looks great, works great, cost like $20USD max.

I chose the Outback Adventures tailgate table. I just installed it over this past weekend. The unit is very well made, reflecting quality materials and great workmanship. Although it costs a substantial amount over other designs it is worth it.
