Every time I see someone mount flashlight/bags on the tailgate I think, hmm . . . maybe I need to try that. But, I wonder what the downsides might be?
Pros:
Easy access to stored items.
Looks cool (at least to me).
Good place to put things that might otherwise roll around.
Cons:
Need to open tailgate every time you want access to something stored in them.
Adds weight to tailgate, albeit not that much.
They and whatever gets "stored" in them are susceptible to theft, especially when the top is down.
What do you guys think?

Went to the Topless Day in Decatur. Not a bad turnout, probably around 12-15 jeeps and a few other vehicles there. I won a lunch at Applelane Farms in a raffle. Oh and I won a tanning session too. Guess which one I kept and which one I gave away. Here's a hint - next week I'm changing my name to GoldenBoy2565.

Hey guys,
Was in your neck of the woods Thursday...
drove in from Little Rock, looked at several homesites/communities, made an offer on one down off of Beadle and Wall Triana, drove back to Little Rock.
Really impressed with the Huntsville/Madison area and the people living there. This will make the transition easier and now I'm looking forward to the move. Two things that really stuck out: 1) apparently Northern Alabama hasn't heard that there is a recession. There was f-ing construction and industry everywhere!! 2) I forgot how smoking hot the women are in the South

Jason and I had an awesome ride today....got into some sketchy stuff but the jeeps and the new 35's did not dissapoint.
i learned that when disconnected, even with the lift and the ruby springs, i still rub when flexed out or when i ht a hard bump at speed....so a body lift is now on my short list.
less than 2 months
1. track bar from Dusty
2. RC front discos
2. JKS rear track bar
3. RC body lift
over 4 months
1. Winch
2. LOD rear bumper,tire carrier and jerry cans

Didn't take any pictures, forgot the camera because I was too busy watching the clouds to see if it was going to rain. I didn't want to get caught in a downpour with my top down. But it turned into perfect weather; cloudy day and didn't rain a bit.

It was an awesome time, i'm not looking forward to clean up but I guess that's just part of it.
