Hey all,
just wanted to inform all that I came up with my own homemade tailgate seat back made from inexpensive hardware store parts.
Started with a 1" diameter piece of round wood stock (kinda like an oversized broom handle cut to appropriate length), a couple of u-bolts, and 2 roof rack surf board pads. I think all in all, I spent about $30 total (most of the cost was obtaining the surf board pads), which beats the cost of the Honda piece quite far. After assembling the pieces, I squeezed together the ends of the u-bolts & made them so they can slide into the tail gate receiever just like the Honda piece does. It is at the right heighth for your back & provides good support. Being a 1" thick piece of wood, it is pretty strong. (I had a 200 lb. buddy of mine leaning back on it, and it didn't budge) It works great !!
p.s. don't you just love my Costco box cargo organizer ??..haha)
