    The tailgate panel?

    According to the parts list it's only $25 if you don't have a stepside. Hard to believe Toyota would charge that little for that piece but that's what it says

    Ahh... Just like my '94

    Pounded out the panels in that thing dozens of times before I just said fukkit and spray-glued a piece of bed mat over it.

    I have to bang that facker out at least once or twice a month because the one panel keeps pushing my handle out when I kneel on it.

    LOL!!!!!!!!!

    That's the one!!
    Never pushed my handle out, but I think the '94 had more space between the handle and the inner panel.

    But it was always the middle panel and the one to the right of it that I'd hit with my right knee.
