No shade taken, although this could've certainly been posted elsewhere outside of our intro thread...

While the above generic flat panels are an overall footprint direction we could've taken, we opted for the minimalist approach with our platform and the subsequent attachment of our InteGate Plates to give the user a larger platform should the need arise.

Our material is 3/4" HDPE, and the other standard flat panels are either 3/8" or 1/2" material. We need the depth to nest the L-Track, and the increased cost + excessive weight aren't inline with our design or use-case direction. The fulcrum of the tailgate would cause an imbalance in lowering/closing the gate given the increased weight.

Further, when having a panel like you've posted, once you cut into it, it's there permanently. Our platform allows for specific plates to be attached for various purposes (cutting, hammering, etc) that don't compromise the structural integrity of the overall platform.

A flat panel is a great option for some people, but in our case and our understanding of how truck owners use their trucks, versatility is truly key.

Rock on!

I have a Weather-Tech tailgate liner. Would I be able to mount directly on top of that if I make and align the holes in it?
funny you should ask!

We’ve reached out to explore custom SpecGate x WeatherTech liners as we’re both IL companies!

But yes, a quick few holes punched into the liner and it’ll quickly attach to the L Track with our thumbscrews + S*Nuts…

This product looks fantastic, will you ship O/S , particularly Australia ?
We absolutely can... Already have one in NZ! Was ~$200US shipping.

Shoot me an email at [email protected] and we can get an invoice together; we haven't added all international shipping destinations to the site yet but we can easily make it happen on the back end and get yours built over the weekend!

All,

We want to introduce you to SpecGate ...

2048x.jpg


SpecGate is a patent-pending modular tailgate platform for your Jeep Gladiator that allows you to attach, mount, and pivot a series of Gladiator-specific mounting plates and accessories. No modifications are required to your Gladiator (no cutting or drilling), and the entire system can be installed in less than 10 minutes. All the tools you need are already included!

SpecGate simply replaces the factory service panels on your tailgate. Once installed, you can attach your gear, tools, and accessories directly to the SpecGate using a combination of our quick-release, Gladiator-specific InteGate Plates and Hardware.

Our products are CNC-milled, hand-finished, and assembled in Huntley, IL, so there are no crazy lead times or shipping delays. If you have a product question or need immediate attention, please contact [email protected].

We have super low introductory pricing on the SpecGate ($299 - Regularly $369). In addition to the introductory pricing, SpecGate includes a FREE center MagPlate and (2) color-matched Matador Tie-Down Rings .... and FREE SHIPPING!!

For JTF members, we'd like to include some extra jimmies at no charge:

(1) FREE additional pair of Matador Tie-Downs (Analog Gold)

You can use this link to place your order; the discount will already be applied to the cart. Remember - FREE SHIPPING is already included to the lower 48.

Please note: Because we've been bombarded with orders and are scaling up production as quickly as possible, your order may take 3-5 business days to ship.

Check out our YouTube or Instagram to see videos of the SpecGate in action and just some of its uses.

Rock on!

I got mine. Got it installed. Love the low profile. Ordered a bunch more s-snuts to make it more useful. Now I just need to start building the platforms for the different things I want to attach.. ladder... Chop saw... Air compressor.... Even thinking about a couple of padded seats for fishing, fireworks, etc

Ordered, but swapped the default gold magnetic plate that your link adds to the cart for the red one by deleting the gold and adding red manually. I sent you an email asking if you could also swap the gold "matador rings" in the free bundle for red ones. I try to match the red trim on my Rubicon whenever possible. Order number is 1031. Thanks!
