    For the tailgate hinges I used the stock door hinges, I just cut them down a little. The top ones I made from some off the shelf ones that I bent up.

    I bought some 2" hinges from Ace Hardware and bent them to what I needed. I do wish they were a little stonger but they work so good. I didnt want to cut into the roof and make a leak.
