Awesome work as always, . I'm missing my Burb already, . Oh, well. I think I have found 2 more projects here, .

Interesting that it may have been stamped that way. Well not anymore

I'm keeping the handle and push button. With the gass-struts you just open it as you would normally open the liftgate but take a step back because of the swing-up tailgate. It's not an awkward motion as I too imagined it might be. It's not much different from opening a new Tahoe/Burb hatch (though those handles are a bit lower).

It's still looking like I'll be enjoyin some green chillis with ya sometime in Sep. So I'll be in a similar boat as you, but I get weekends at home

Interested in what you might have dug up down there
