    Never seen it before but a few things come to mind when I look at it. Not for offroad use. Looks like the mounts for the supports hang down lower than the bumper? Also with the tailgate open the spare tire would put some serious stress on the hinges when going over bumps. This would get worse with any size over stock. Does the tailgate somehow attach to the rack when its folded out to take the stress?

    Clever idea. Since the flatbed extends a couple of feet past the body of the Jeep, I think some sort of marker lights might be required to be street legal.

    The tailgate does latch to the crewbed.

    It would make it possible to sleep in the back of a TJ/YJ. Interesting idea/product.

    Default No extra stress

    The crewbed does not add any extra stress on the door hinges. The gate holds all the wait and the gate latches onto it. 50 state legal are the new ones because we added lights in the back. Buyer just needs to provide wiring for trailer four flat.
