    When ordering is there any difference between the white and black plastic? All I see is a slight price difference. Cracked my OEM yesterday when the tailgate went back in while not quite aligned and I heard "the crack" :(

    Just ordered one for mine. Failed catastrophically and managed to damage the truck on it's way back up too due to it's misalignment. Hope it holds up! Seems they're a bit hit or miss around here.

    And wish it was u der warranty. But it's well out of that. Truck was built in October 2015 and has 60K on her now.

    you should already have the new style according to the dates listed below. If your truck definitely doesn't have the new style go to your nearest dealership if you want it that day, or order it anywhere online if you can find a cheaper price. An easy way I can think of to test if you have the old style is to buy a new style bushing and try to fit it on your damper. If it fits, you already have the new style. If it doesn't, pick up the new style damper and get to work!

    Tacoma's built between August 2015 and February 2016 were equipped with: OLD
    Bushing # 66143-04020
    Hinge Part # 66101-04020

    Tacoma's built February 2016 and after were equipped with: NEW

    Out of curiosity, how much does Toyota charge to replace a stolen tailgate with accessories needed?

    Tailgate Damper Bushing...lol
    Hello all, figured since I was frustrated with this same issue I would post the solution that actually works. The bushing fails due to poor design, the material is simply too thin to be able to handle the torsion of the pin. I too created a 3D printed bushing but they don't last. The solution is simple, just bend a little piece of metal to fit over the exiting pin and drop the gate on it . Boom fixed for ever. The first picture is the metal I put over the pin this works perfect, as you can see it doesn't need to be pretty or perfect. The second picture is the 3d printed version I made. Mind you the picture is my prototype made out PLA , TPU works ok just doesn't last. I can post the STL file but honestly its pointless.
