I'd be a little nervous using body panel to hold that much weight, but then I've never seen the inside of that tailgate.
Just keep an eye on the rear view mirror if you need to do many miles on washboards like we do here in CO and UT! hahaha!
I have a 48" bolted through the floor in the rear foot well covered with Range Rover rubber floor mats. Previous owners idea. Can't say that I've had to use it, the winch and tow straps have done the job so far.
