Wanted to share some updates...
I jumped on a factory rear tire carrier that was posted in a facebook group. the guy was incredibly cool and gave me the carrier and the tailgate for free. With work being slow I managed to get it mounted up. Not the hardest job just time consuming.
Swapping the motors and glass to the new tailgate.
Tailgate mounted. (don't worry, I painted everything)
Brackets to I made to hold the carrier because I don't have the factory one.
Mounted and painted.
Finished!
