    Okay I'm looking for a aftermarket tailgate that swings out rather than folds down and has a spare tire mount. I have seen 1 or 2 that I liked but have not been able to find a retailer. Does anyone have an idea where to get one? Thanks in advance.

    I was looking at these exact ones earlier today. $800 is steep though.

    Check the TTORA Garage Section....
    Tire gate is the first company to mass produce tire gates, following the design of desert racers.
    4wheel parts has a photo of the different versions.

    If you want something else, you are better off contacting a fabricator to design and make it for your purpose...but the cost will be nearing $1000.
    There are some guys that have made it themselves.
