Ok, nevermind. I did it and it was easy and it looks really really good and unusual. The tailgate weighs practically nothing and came off with only 4 screws.
No more reaching across the tailgate and not being able to climb up over the thing. The tire carrier still holds stuff in and I put an airflow net on it in case I need it.
It can't cause much of a problem to lose the tailgate as it is light and can't do much structurally.
I think it looks a lot better than taking off the tire carrier and it's more practical to keep the spare and lose the gate. 2x4's etc will now fit with the divider down cause they can hang out the back. Awesome Idea if I do say so myself.
