    I had some latches on there that were kind of flimsy and one was broke so, for the last five years I've been putting a strap on there to keep the rear gate closed good :emb: , finally found and got some better latches and put em on.
    The rear gate ramp is not going anywhere now and I don't think these will break, they're attached with all 3/8 inch bolts n lock nuts and the latch rod is half inch.
    I had to mount them unconventionally on the inside because of the way my sides and gate come together, but they work real slick. :D

    Well, that's a little far and I've got so much stuff around here I would like to get done before it gets hot.
    I'm sure you guys will take plenty of pictures though

    We can do that.
    Dont know how good the phone service is on that side of the mountain, might take longer to get them to load to the site. We'll see.
    Maybe cwn877 will chime in on the coverage at the farm?

    Coverage is good the cell tower is atop the mountain behind the farm.
