Hey all I have wanted to do a table on the rear door for a while... Have seen a few but they never looked right...

So here is what I have came up with!

First I made a template out of cardboard then put it onto the ply and had to do a check out for the latch! Any way ill let the pictures do the talking!

I checked a piano hinge in the bottom and used the hinge things off a card table to hold it square! It's then held up to the back door with a ute tourno cover strap thingo!

Can't wait for the next bush BBQ and then use it as a bar later that night!

I did think about that but I have my rear lights in the tail gate so the wiring is behind that.... So I wouldn't want anything rubbing on that! And I hate stuff ratleing around! Haha I have t shirts and a jacket stuffed in my rear draws to try stop the ratleing! Haha

The best mod I have ever done is my rear table much the same as yours , but also made it a little bit of a cupboard behind the table , it's only about 50mm deep but my salt pepper oil matches ect live there .
Was such a handy thing when the girlfriend and I lived out of the zook for 3 months . With only 7 nights paid accommodation .

I'm always reluctant to put stuff on the tailgate cause of weight issue. Looking at the design some telescoping folding legs would perharps help?

Have used it heaps and its awsome!!!! Weight isn't an issue as I don't run a spare on my back door!

A little trap door in the centre of the bit on the rear door is a good idea!!!
