Default Proud rhino rear door table

Anyone have this yet / good or bad feedback?

Looks new -- and unlike every other table, it doesn't have all the dumb holes in it and I like the latching mechanism. Just about to buy one - will report back when installed.

Latch looks like a really good design. The table surface area looks quite a bit smaller that the other varieties though. Fitting a stove might be a challenge.

I like all the dumb holes. I use them to hang dumb stuff; utensils, trash bag etc. My 2 rubles



Also, without a built-in bottle-opener, is it even a table?

You make a good point about the surface area. hmmm.

Re holes - Depends on usage, yes. For my tailgate cocktail parties I’ve needed to fit in a cutting board to prevent things from falling thru. I have an Amazon sourced table on there now that looks sort of like yours.

I shall report back!

I have powerfulUK's table which I like a lot. The molle plate-ish design is useful for storage for the 99% of time that the table is up.

Azzakly.





I have the P-UK version in a box but haven’t mounted it yet. The only thing I note is that the Defender versions cost about $200 more than a Jeep version that’s largely identical except for mounting particulars.

Can somebody at Proud Rhino, for the love of God, hire a proofreader/copy editor? It’s making me twitch.

Quickly get more table space the back of your Defender. The tables is make from aluminum then powder coated black.

@nashvegas - I hang crap off the holes, but not as much as @NoGaBiker . I have so much "crap" in the back on my outings/camping that I don't like the extra space stuff that things on the door steals. It's only for small, quick items I need. Maybe I'll hang TP off of it! BTW - Mine was from the Ukrainian "Alex" off of Facebook. Great quality, did the deed. Only problem was I bone-headedly ordered Gray and not black. Nothing that a little rattle can won't cure...

Anyway, I took a leftover piece of cherry and milled it pretty thin. Then I roughed out the bottom to allow space for straps. Six screws (painted black) and back in business. Now when I want to use the table, I don't worry about crap falling thru and it looks pretty/prettier.

Pro-tip: Regardless of which one you buy, make DARN sure that you get one like Lucky8 or the one I wound up with that does NOT cover up the door storage. I think those were early versions/repurposed Jeep versions that block a great place to store crap needed when cooking.
