Mountain Hatch Tailgate Cutting Board & Table for 1980-1990 Toyota Land Cruiser 60 & 62 Series

The Mountain Hatch Tailgate Table for the Toyota Land Cruiser 60 and 62 Series is a 1/2-inch food-grade HDPE panel for the drop-down tailgate on the 1980-1990 FJ60 and FJ62. On a wagon that already serves as a rolling camp kitchen, it gives you a flat, wipe-clean counter at exactly the right height.

Both versions are the same $199. The recessed-pocket version adds drink holders and a 1/4-inch-deep utility tray that keeps a phone, headlamp, knife or onion trimmings from sliding off the gate; the original flat version is one uninterrupted slab for people who want maximum cutting and work area. The panel also protects the original tailgate skin, which matters on a vehicle where replacement sheet metal is hard to find. Mountain Hatch is a small shop in Riverside, California. Panels are machine-cut, hand-finished and made to order, which means a wait between ordering and the panel being ready.

Two trade-offs worth knowing. First, HDPE is cutting-board plastic: it scratches under a hard knife stroke and gets slippery when wet. Second, the panel adds weight to the tailgate, so the factory damper will let the gate drop a little faster than it did; Mountain Hatch is upfront that it stays controlled and does not slam. It is a work surface, not armor, so do not expect it to stiffen the gate.
