P1000 Tailgate removal?

[Cooterbob]

Anyone remove tailgate? I’m not home to look yet and was gonna buy a sprayer with a boom and it looks like I’ll need to remove it.

It’s a little bit of a PITA. You have to remove the rear doors then the two rear box sides. Not really hard but more involved then one would think. Make sure to use exactly the right fit Allen (5mm I believe?) or you’ll strip them out as the are tight as hell. Pretty straight forward though

I use a sprayer with a boom that was intended for the back of a 4 Wheeler. I slide it out on the tail gate and set it on a couple 2x12 to span the weight. Its about 1/3 on tailgate and 2/3 in the bed. Some day I will get around to fixing it so it goes up and over the tailgate

The emp rear bumper requires the tailgate to be removed for install. You can google or YouTube it and they’ll give you a step by step. But as @Cuoutdoors said... I’d just figure something else out.

I have a boomless sprayer that I mounted to a spare receiver. Added extra hose and it’s great.

Reminds me I need to get it back from neighbor.

I use a rear hitch basket that slides into rear hitch. built a wooden box so it sits up a bit higher - works great.

That’s a good idea

Just put clips on sprayer boom to hook over end gate. Had that on Polaris ATP and plan to do same on 1000. Easy on, easy off.

My boom sticks out just past the tailgate with it down. Leveled the gate so it's not caring weight.
