3rd Gen 2016+ Tacoma Tailgate Lock

A lot of reading and research, this looks like the way to go, just ordered a red unit for my cement pro.
The crap you have to do to thwart scumbags, next up, spare tire lock.

 

Thank you,

Obviously I like my baby but I think you will be totally satisfied with this solution.

 

I ordered a black one, thanks.

 

Installed mine this morning in just a few minutes. Looks great and my tailgate is safe and secure.

 

Thanks for the review on the web site. appreciate it.

 

Hmmm. With one of these, I wouldn't have to be concerned about keeping the handle locked.

 

Are there any available? Looking for a red one.

 

His website showed 5 earlier, but didn't even list an option for color.

 

Will add more stock, it has been slim pickings as I have been taking a class for the last 10 weeks so fell behind.

I do have a few in stock and will have more tomorrow.

 

Ok fixed the stock issue. I added some stock and will fill orders in the order received to be fair.

Thanks again.

 

Just wondering when it says remove tab does that mean you need to break it off?

 

That is correct, it is used to retain the clip when you remove the tailgate from the truck. Since the objective is to not remove the tailgate it will not be a problem. I do have a few stock plastic bushings I purchased from Toyota just in case someone needed one, but it is highly unlikely.

 

Do we like this?, I can see what I can find that will help protect the lock from dirt and dust that would be weatherproof.

 

Yes, looks good. When do you think that option will be available?

 

I will look for some material, it will definitely have to weather the storm, any thoughts on material?

Suggestions are welcome!

The material I had was some older vinyl that my son gave me after he used it on his car. Not too sticky though so not sure how water tight it would be.

 

Would not some sort of rubber plug or seal or something work? Or maybe not rubber, but something similar.. form fit on the inside to sit flush in the hole and not let anything through? Then again, I guess I'm not sure how it would attach.

 

i think just plain black would be best. i wouldn't want to dress it up and draw more attention to the lock

 

Looks good
I order a black one when do you think it will ship
Thanks

 

Those look great vs the ones they carry for a 2012 model.

 

This is strictly for 3rd Gen, but we have one for 2nd Gen
