    So I am a new owner of a Tacoma, and I am repairing it, the problem is on on the tailgate which was destroyed so I am repairing it, so far I was able to find all the pieces except for 1, let me explain:

    So I am having issues with the hinges, so far I was able to find both side hinges left and right:



    I was also able to find the tailgate damper, but this one seems to fix on the right side or passenger side:


    and another part goes there as well which is the damper bracket, again, this one is from the passenger side:


    Now my problem is that I have been looking for the driver-side male hinge, I have searched different sites and I was not even able to find the part #, I have not even seen a picture of that part, so does anybody knows what part is the one that I´m missing? or does anybody knows the part # please?

    EDIT: This is a 2017 limited 2WD

    You're going to have to disclose the YEAR of the truck.

    Are you replacing a broken part that you can post a picture of?
    Or is the part missing?

    The part is missing, I do have both hinges for the left and right sides, which I post the pictures above, what I´m missing is the male hinge that goes on the driver's side, I have not even seen a picture of that and my truck is missing that part. SO again, I already put both hinges on the tailgate, now I can insert the tailgate into the truck right? So the hinges that support the tailgate hen I insert it into the truck, I was only able to find the left side hinge support, but not the left side (driver side)

    So you're looking for whatever post or pin is hidden by the driver side tailgate hinge?

    The first step would be to find a pic of that area with the tailgate removed. Then you'll at least know what the piece is supposed to look like. But no... I'm not gonna go pull my tailgate off and risk scratches/damage. :censored:
    I did spend some time searching online for a picture... but so far no luck.
