Default Activgate - your review?

Not finding much info but I really like this setup - would be nice to just unload the groceries real quick in the back for the ride home, the gate is slick and who couldn't use the lockable side compartments

If you have it, show us some pics and a review if you dont mind.

I don't like it for the sole reason everyone and their brother is leaning over the side of the truck...ARRRGGGG. Not on my truck. I wanna get the side rails to stop that. not to mention the sides are failry high on the ram to begin with. Also, that looks like it sucks up a lot of room back there leaving you with a 4'x4' area really. I'd rather get a cap than deal with all that nonsense.

It looks like a creative idea, but i wouldn't ever use all those side compartments more than I would the reat of the are for stuff that i do.
How much is it????

I would just put up a 2x10 across that back if you have a bedliner, the Mopar one's have a slot in them for that. it helps with groceries and then you can remove it for anything else.

Chase your dream. If it's what you want buy it. Personally it looks like big waste of space. Besides, a couple bungies would do the job of that for half the price. There also is a bar you can put in your bed that does the same thing for about $50 unlike the several hundres you're going to fork out on that, but of course it does not have the "cool" factor.

But yeah, I think you'd be hard pressed to find someone on here with it...
