Just confirming, if I wanted a bracket for a 3rd gen, white, and T45 safety screw it would be 53.50 for everything?

 

That's what it was for me, I just rounded it to 60 so he could buy a beer or something. Mine came in and it looks freaking awesome. Def worth $60.

Btw, @christian06 add Barcelona red to your list now, since I made you buy it

 

Do I just send the payment w/ order then let him know that it’s been sent to put in an order? First time doing this haha.

 

I signed up for PayPal, and I kept his instructions open in another window, there's a section to add notes, I just went down the list of everything that he asked, and out of that as a note.

For:
lock

security bolt

powder coated in :

Shipped to:

Ect ect. I forgot exactly what all he asks for, but just look at it, and add it as your payment for. If you forget I'm sure you could just pm him on here.

 

Appreciate the help brother!

 

Hey Chris,

just sent the payment via PayPal.

cant wait!

 

One thing I'd recommend, The bolt comes unpainted, not a big deal for a bolt in the side of the tailgate, but it drove me crazy, so I drove to lowes and got a can of spraypaint that c,losely matched the vehicle (Doesn't have to be exact, it's literally for 1 bolt in the side of the tailgate lol) Painted it, and it looks spot on OEM now. White should be an easy color for you to match "Close enough" I understand why it's not powdercoated. you'd mess up fitting the torx on there if it was, but a layer of paint is thin enough to not cause any issues.

 

Lol will do, how close was the color match?

 

You are correct

 

It's not perfect, but it's about as close as I'd expect. I'm definitely not disappointed. I'm sure if the truck paint was brand new it would be a bit closer. But it's really not that far off. Just nitpicking. Tbh, besides me (because I installed it) no one would ever notice or point it out. It's damn close. It's just comparing powder coat to 6 year old paint. Different materials and ages.

TLDR: it's damn close, closer than I was expecting, and so close no one would ever notice.

 

That's awesome, thx for the feedback.
That has been a hard one to match, thx again my friend

 

Placed my order last night, super excited to secure my tailgate finally

 

Thx my friend

 

@christian06: I sent payment to your PayPay, (Fab U Less) account for tailgate for my 3rd gen Tacoma. I emailed order information you needed just now.

 

I received your order, your in Arizona correct?
I never received your email though. Here is my email, bugdoctorchris@gmail.com
Plz send shipping info, thx.

 

No. I located in Hawaii. Your original email was hotmail.com. Apparently, old email. I try again, email sent now.

 

Yes I got your order for $38.50
That's a 3rd gen bracket and T45 safety screw.

Right?
