What gauge is the steel?
![](/sites/all/themes/quadratec/logo.png)
It's approximately 0.037" thick which is slightly thicker than 20 gauge. Thank you for the question.
Kimberly D.
Will the handle, latch & linkage and lock cylinder from my 1999 Wrangler original factory tailgate fit into this one without alterations?
![](/sites/all/themes/quadratec/logo.png)
Yes, they will be reused in the new tailgate. They should fit directly. Thanks for your inquiry.
William S.
Would this fit an 06 TJ 65th Ann Ed?

No, these are not a good fit for the 03-06 model years.

Does the key lock and tailgate handle fit from the original door of a 1998 Wrangler?

Yes, you can swap over the handle, latch & linkage and lock cylinder
Paul S.
Will the Key assembly fit? I know that the slots in the 97-02 is different from the 03-06.
![](/sites/all/themes/quadratec/logo.png)
Yes if you have all of the original hardware from an 03-06 tailgate you can install it in this shell.

Will the spare tire mount on this as it does on the original one?

Yes, this is a direct factory replacement.
