Reviews for Quadratec Tailgate Table for 07-24 Jeep Wrangler JK & JL
This table is amazing. For our 2022 wrangler it was the easiest installation I have ever done

I found that many other brand tables seemed overly expensive for what they offered versus a folding ground table. I bought the Quadratec version when it was on sale and found the installation to be relatively simple (except for stupidly drilling all the way through my tailgate…arggggh! Completely my bad and not the product’s fault). I do love the features, but must say that on a two-door JK the depth of the shelf pretty much takes up all the behind-the-rear-seat cargo space. In hindsight, I would have preferred a completely flat model, maybe with a sliding cutting board. But again, the cost of these is pretty dear. If you have a JKU or JLU, the shelf depth should not be a problem at all. One last item, the shelf rattled a bit which was annoying, but I solved this by building up a few self-adhesive foam rubber squares. All in all, the design and build quality is great, and the price is right (especially when on sale). ; )
Received the table just a few days ago and got it installed. Only took 15-20 minutes to install on our 2024 Jeep Wrangler. My girlfriend wanted to learn how to install it (it's her jeep) and was fairly easy. We used a 1/2 step bit for drilling the required holes, which in hindsight, a normal drill bit might have been a bit easier. Once the holes were drilled, getting the table mounted onto the rear door was a bit of a challenge as the holes of the table did not perfectly align with mounting holes of the door. This could have been from the holes not drilled perfectly causing the misalignment, but we made it work just fine without redrilling. Once the table was installed, the latches worked fine but they felt a tiny bit loose and we were worried about the noise that might come from it. She drove the Jeep the next day only to listen to a rattle from the table. To fix the noise I stuck some furniture pads on the provided rubber bumpers which caused for a very tight fit and eliminated 90% of the rattle.
To bring this from a 4-5 star, the provided bumpers should be 1/8-1/4" taller to tighten up the latches, add nylon/rubber pieces around the bolts that hold the cables between the top and bottom pieces.
All that being said, the rest of the table is very well made, the finish on the table is great, and the provided instructions were very clear and easy to follow. We're excited to use the table on our adventures!
The table is nice, quaint, simple, and well designed and I can see it being used so much in the years to come.
BUT
quadratec must update its instructions. When you have a JK as I do (long live my 08) you are required to drill for rivets. They tell you to use a 3/8s bit for the rivets they provide but it won't work. You need a 13/32 or 7/16. 3/8 is too tight. Also they say at end to use the shorter bolts to "attach the table bottom to the frame". Nope, you use the longer ones otherwise they won't thread. May be a typo but needs to be changed to not confuse people who want to follow the instructions. So, good product with nice design and features, but instructions need improvement
Double shelves
Multifunctional.
Install was a breeze. I would have gave this product a 5 star if it wasn’t for the rattling. Seems like it’s a matter of quality control. Latches aren’t tight enough to give it a tight secured fit. I ended up buying small squared furniture silencers and put them on top of the existing pads it came with. It added a little more padding. It latches closed extra tight now. Other than that great buy.
Complete installation in my JLU 4xe, no issues with installation. 4/5 due to item damage to lower bracket rivets. I repaired and complete the install with no issues.
Like the extra features.. However in the discription it states holds up to 50 lbs the manual states 25 lbs. Brought attention to the online chat said they would get back to me ( haven't heard a word) table also rattles so have to stuff a roll of towels in the shelf portion to keep it from rattling . Giving this 3 stars cause lack of comunication and the rattle.
