Just purchased a T3-C. Am looking at the tailgate hinge on this trailer. Here is a Pic..
Pretty sure this is a modification to make the tailgate easy to remove. Thoughts? Jon. |

Here's a pic of a hinge someone posted and I ordered in based on the number. Looks like a good matchup.

Jon, It sure looks like an attempt to allow removal. I'd be a bit concerned the pin would slide out from road vibration. Too bad the tailgate wasn't set up similar to the jeep hinge.

Hmmm... That might be a great modification, I will have to re-do the angle iron across the bottom anyway. Maybe someone has already done it and will share pics.

I bought a set of CJ-2A tailgate hinges with the thought of modifying the Batumn tailgate to the same system that the 2A has for removing the tailgate. Of course, I haven't worked on yet.
