Talon tailgate ?

[Fordman]

hello all , sold my P500 & am close to buying a Talon X , the lack of a tailgate is frustrating, I have saw a couple options but would like more, any thoughts ? Thanks

One of the few things I'd change about the Talon is to make the *bed* a bit more serious in a cargo carrying role - including a tailgate or at least cargo net. I've seen a couple of aftermarket extensions and tailgates, but nothing that really properly remedies the situation in my opinion. I'm sure there will be more options coming from some entrepreneur.

Where did you get the cargo net?

Saw this on HMF exhaust ad. Anyone recognize the logo or seen it for sale somewhere? I can't blow it up enough to clearly see name on it.

I believe that's a prototype of a bumper and cargo gate/spare holder that's in the works at HMF. Certainly doesn't show up on their website though (yet).

I have a vw gti and was an accessory that came with it. Just repurposed it and works great

I've seen the bed extender types for the Talon. Don't really feel like I would need it. Just want something to enclose "trunk" area. Saw another one that was solid plate and that seemed like too much for our terrain in Texas (lots of mud and water).
Love the extender on my Pioneer though. Nice to be able to keep cooler when passengers are in the back seats.

RockR, can you draw what you want? Maybe that would get the ball rolling.

I just ordered the HMF tailgate from HTV HQ's today. Hmf has several accessories on there website now.

Nice! My only concern about the JEI unit is how much width it steals from the outer portion of the existing bed. Can you do me a favor and post a measurement between the tubes of the extension? In other words, how wide is the cargo-carrying capacity between the left side and right side extension tubes? From photos, I'm going to guess that it's somewhere in the 26" range.

I will when I get home this afternoon, The only problem I can see is between the mounting plates you lose a few inches on each side

Is it sturdy enough to hold a spare tire on the back?

 

[Fordman]

I would think so they advertise roto pax for it

Hey man it's about 30 1/2 in between the mounting plates
