All Pro tailgate table

Picked up the non-divided one from Wheelers during the BF 15% off sale for $170, normally $200. I was thinking of buying one from Amazon called Hooke but the reviews weren't so great and people had problems closing the tailgate due to the hatch being too thick. This one had the same problem.

I suspect that the All Pro one is made by the same factory that's making the Hooke one since the price is the same at $200 and I had a hard time fully closing the tailgate and it took more force on the handle to open and you can tell/hear that there was much more tension on the latches. This was easily remedied by removing some material where it contacts the rubber bushings with a 3/4" forstner bit. I also suspect that this is just HMWPE, and not UHMWPE like the $300 Mountain Hatch ones. The outside long run edges are chamfered but the inside edges of the cup holder, slot and the 4 bolt holes in the middle were left untouched and they were rough and mildly sharp, I had to hit them with some 200 grit to knock off the harsh edges. All the bolt holes lined up so no problem there. Packaging was great and there was no damage during shipping.

Is it still worth it? For me, I believe so as it only required a few minutes of extra work to fit correctly and some sanding to knock off the harsh edges. It does everything I need it do at nearly half the cost of the Mountain Hatch one. You can still feel some flex when standing on it but much less than the factory one and it doesn't hurt your butt when sitting on it for extended amounts of time or when you're kneeling down on it.

So if you're think of getting one, just make sure you're prepared to put in a little extra time and work.

 

there is no way that piece of plastic with logo on it cost $200 lmao. For $100 i will think about it.
