Discovery 3 V8: what have you built around the split tailgate?

ShedLedger · Australia · 14 Nov 2026

Make: Land Rover
Model: Discovery 3 V8

The lower tailgate makes a natural seat or picnic bench. Has anyone planned their storage around keeping that useful? Show where the stove or lunch kit sits when the tailgate itself is already occupied.

For anyone sharing dimensions, include where you measured from. A case that clears the tailgate trim on paper can still foul a handle when it swings open.
