A tailgate housing has a front wall, a back wall, a top wall, a bottom wall, a first lateral wall and a second lateral wall. The back wall has an elongated opening therein generally extending from the first lateral wall to the second lateral wall. Each of the first and second lateral walls is hingedly coupled to one of the side walls. The housing is selectively positionable in a horizontal position extending away from the pickup bed or in a vertical position extending upwardly from the pickup bed. A panel is positioned within the housing and is selectively positioned in an extended orientation extending outwardly of the opening or in a stored orientation positioned substantially within the housing.
