Outback Adventures Trailgater for JL Wrangler Install

[CyberRube2]

Finally got my Outback Adventures Trailgater for my 2018 JL Wrangler. This thing is NICE!!!! By far the best one I've used. The Mopar and others just felt too cheap in comparison and I liked the added benefit of the slide out table. . You can see my install here https://www.myjlproject.com/blog/outback-adventures-trailgater-for-2018-19-wrangler-jl/

Very nice!
Can you please check how much of a gap there is beteween the table surface and the back surface when the table is closed?
I'd love to know if it will be possible to mount all my cutlery in there again like on the JK version.
The JK version has almost an inch gap, allowing for the thickeness of the handle on the big knife (just)

Thanks!

Dan,
Yes, there is room. This is a photo of a prototype Overland Outfitters Cutlery/Tool Keeper for the JL Trailgater, they tell me it should be in production later this summer. It installs using the Trailgater hardware and the cutlery remains in place when the table is closed.

Thanks Jeff. It's cool to see the production version of my build
(And I was inspired by someone else, so it's not even my idea!)

Hey that’s a good idea Dan. I like that. I’ll take exact measurements tomorrow.
