    i still have my tailgate, i live where it is kinda safe, garage kept,lockable topper/cap. i would like to get a pop and lock. i had one on my 02 tacoma, but i had to take it apart every year to clean and lube to prevent seizing,pain in the ass. are the new ones any better, or is this the "nature of the beast". i live in the salt belt so i'm used to doing all kinds of preventive corrision stuff, but not sure if i want to do it on my 15.
