Does anyone know of a shaved tailgate kit for the burbs? I know that a few people have done their own but not sure how to..

I noticed sublvr72 did this to his, can you post some pics of yours?

THanks,

Well I did shave mine but I am still working on the inside handle. If I end up keeping my burb, the hatch will be controlled by poppers and an electronic latch. The rear will work sort of like a bronco tailgate, handle on the inside.

As of right now there is no "kit" but any decent body shop should be able to perform the metal work.

here are the pics.

this is me welding up the button

and this was after I finished welding, grinding, filling and painting.
