JK Tailgate Prop

[dr_freeze]

Just checking to see how all of you keep your tailgate open on your Jeep. Is the only option to buy a strut, or a 'prop' like they are calling it online? I did some googling but didn't see may other options than the strut so I thought I'd ask here.

Thanks,
Mark.

I use a 1x2 to keep my XJ hatch open, probably can do something similar on yours

I am a cheap SOB and use a bungee strap.

2001+ model JK have a built in prop but there are a few after market solutions for the earlier year JKs

I think Swag Off Road had a low cost prop strut/ rod solution, I used to just bungee it to the tire swing out. I really wanted to do the drop gate mod after I built a swing out tire carrier

I use my hip or one of my kids.
