Smittybilt G.E.A.R. Tailgate Cover, Coyote Tan - Jeep Wrangler JK Part S-B5662324

was not the right one, proper color but for the wrong year jeep :(

I like the looks of this cover. The MOLLE attachments are good, but not great. It comes with two bags, one large and one smaller. However, because I have the Jeep JKU Sahara, I have the bass speaker in the back and this takes up some space where the bag could go. They both fit, but are close together. You cannot put a heavy load in the bags or they sage. The MOLLE just doesn't hold them up well. I may use additional velco to help that out.Installation is pretty straight forward, but the screws that are included are way too small!! I ended up reading other reviews, and at the advice of others, I opted to tap the holes and install larger bolts, instead. Yes, a little overkill, but there are a couple places on the tail gate that are double welded steel, so self tappers just didn't cut it. In fact, they broke off. Be sure to keep the cover straight and level. EIther have someone else hold it, or tape it into place with some duct tape first.It looks good, covers the entire back of the tail gate. They coyote color I have works well with my Jeeps colors. The bags are nice, plus they have handles and straps. Not the kind of thing you want to routinely mount and unmount, however, Maybe it's because I got my installation so tight, but I don't think I will pull these bags off and back on again much. Ample storage space, but again, nothing that is too heavy.

I ordered this along with the front seat GEAR cover and Backseat GEAR cover for a 2011 4 Dr. Sahara. The quality of these products is utter garbage. The Molle strap material is too thin to be durable with any weight at all and the stitching on the Velcro straps is coming apart right out the box on on 3 products I purchased. So, in this case you have to drill multiple holes in your tailgate for installation of a product that has little chance of holding up. Smitty bilt products are new to me and based on the low quality of all three of these products my expectation is that all of their products are cheap, Chinese made, sell it because it looks cool and appears functional on paper but in practice it is a trash. Every buckle and strap is thin and poorly stitched like a 10 year old did it.

The description leads you to believe that it has more useable space than it actually does, if you use the two crappy bags they send with it even a small medic bag doesn't fit. I'm going to replace both bags as they are cheaply made and don't seem as if they will hold up. They also unsnap easily making it simple for someone to steal them out of your jeep. A little butt hurt over spending $70 for just the piece that covers the tailgate.

When ordered I needed it for a 2013 Wrangler. Once it came in the instructions clearly state 2007-2012 Jeep Wrangler so I thought there was an issue, but was GTG. The top and bottom sewing on the molle tailgate cover was somewhat "puckered" so it didn't want to sit flat, took a little work during install to stretch it tight prior to drilling. The left side of the molle tailgate cover only has 1 hole for the tailgate swing-out arm, why not have the molle piece manufactured with both holes for the swing-out arm? Quality of the material was good, all molle strapping was evenly spaced however understand, this is not a MIL standard product but good none the less. Install was easy except for the stretching to ensure it wasn't "puckered". Instead of drilling a hole through the Molle cover I used a soldering iron to melt through it, no fraying of the nylon. Bags are GTG, always need more storage space, there's room on the kit for a couple smaller bags too. Overall, pleased with quality and install. Fix instructions for fitment, add pre-manufactured "grommet holes" for the swing out tailgate arm.
