yep .. just that easy .
I have searched long and hard for hinges .. talked to many manufactures , there not interested .
I have even tried .. problem , for me .. close just isn't close enough . I'm pretty anal about my product , so they all have to be EXACT . nobody can seem to do that for me , so this is why I use the old ones .

Okay sounds good I'll shoot you an email. Ill put some thought into making those hinges too. Maybe ill have you send me a hinge for reference too and I can come up with a price to make them for you.

Cool!
Is this one for 4Runners? Where do you place the key cylinder?

yes , 84-89 4Runners
you don't ...
window has to be dropped from the inside switch , and then you can reach in , unlock the hatch and drop the gate .
licence plate has to be relocated .

Would it not be easier to just use the tailgate and not cut it?
