Can't you mod something up with an aluminum adjustable cane to keep the tailgate open on an incline?
an easy way to improve your tailgating capabilities. the only thing i had to cut on the jeep was the plastic cover on the locking mechanism. there was a part that stuck out and took up space for no reason. the riser is made of an aluminum adjustable cane ($9.99 at wal-mart). this alows you to adjust for angles created by uneven ground and also enables you to collapse the support so it fits behind the table top when closed. it is attached to a hinge at the top and fits onto a hook on the bottom. the hook is made from a piece that came with the hinge. the technical term escapes me at this time but the whole kit was originaly a lock hasp thingy. (thingy is a technical tem in my workplace!) as for the cup holder, well, what else are you supposed to do with those ugly plastic jugs on your stock bumper? i just bolted a block to the inside as a spacer to keep the drink at a reasonable height. now that those are done, does anyone have any cool ways to keep the tailgate open while on an incline?

The bravest of all Spartans was Dienekes. It is said that on the eve of battle, he was told by a native of Trachis that “the Persian archers were so numerous that, when they fire their volleys, the mass of arrows will block out the sun.”
Dienekes, however, quite undaunted by this prospect, remarked with a laugh, “Good. Then we’ll fight in the shade!”

...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'
