No more exterior swing-outs that look like a garage sale exploded on your tailgate. The UtiliGate lives completely inside the bed, swings open with the tailgate, and gives you a full MOLLE wall of organized recovery gear , all while keeping the outside of your truck looking factory clean.
Why This Changes Everything
- 100% internal – zero external brackets, zero theft temptation, zero parking-lot door dings
- Full MOLLE panel built from 12GA folded plate sandwiched between two 1.25" tubes
- Opens driver OR passenger side – you pick (welded/threaded bungs on both ends)
- 1/2" ball-lock pin for rattle-free security
- Works with HotMetalFab bed stiffeners (optional) OR your own custom stiffeners
- All mounting hardware included – even if you add stiffeners to the order
- Mount anything: Quick Fists, Rotopax, shovels, traction boards, trash bag… whatever
Perfect For
- Anyone who’s sick of exterior swing-outs getting smashed in parking lots
- Stealth overlanders who want capability without screaming “rob me”
- Daily drivers that still wheel hard on weekends
Frequently Asked Questions
Will it clear my tonneau cover / bed cap?
Yes — sits flush with the tailgate when closed. Tested with most retractable and folding covers.
Do I need bed stiffeners?
Strongly recommended (we sell them), but you can fab your own. The UtiliGate bolts to whatever you give it.
Can I run two (one on each side)?
Not yet , but dual-gate version is already in the works.
Does it rattle?
No, the 1/2" ball-lock pin + rubber isolation kills noise dead.
Lead time?
3–4 weeks. Built by hand in Loomis, CA worth every day of the wait.
More accessories coming?
Already in the pipeline: dedicated Rotopax mount, table bracket, Hi-Lift mount, trash-bag holder, and more.
