    Happy Thursday everyone!

    I am new to this website, but have been a huge overlander for years, now i am matching my hobby with a little side quest!

    I just started my own company recently making Tailgate inserts for a variety of models. Here a few details!

    Made from tough, FDA-approved 3/8 inch plastic, the NORD tailgate insert is built to withstand the elements. It features UV inhibitors to protect against sun damage, so it stays looking great no matter the conditions. Plus, it’s food-safe, making it perfect for prepping or serving snacks and meals.

    Soon we will offer the 4th gen tacoma as well. Currently we have the 3rd gen tacoma available.

    https://nordproducts.ca/

    Have a great day everyone, go find some new trails!

    Nice looking product.
    How slippery is it when wet?

    Cheers

    Hey man, it does get slippery when it is wet. However, it is definitely manageable and has enough grip to not fall.

    Do these install over top of the existing plate or replace the existing plate?

    The old tailgate insert will need to be taken off. The fitment however is the same. It fits perfectly.

    What is it for and why would I replace mine with a smooth one like that ? Looks? Genuinely not sure what the reason is.

    Wonder how much more expensive these will become with the tariffs once shipped to USA

    May not be competitive anymore with the USA made tailgate panels

    I'll admit, I didn't see many reasons to install your multi-thousand-dollar keyboard into your tailgate; but that didn't mean I wasn't disappointed when thats not what this thread was :pout:
    (For those who are confused; "Nord" is the TRD Pro of 'good' keyboards.)

    Very true comment, we are currently not shipping to the states, i did not realize that this page is mostly for the american folks. However we do plan on shipping to the states by mid summer.

    All I'm saying is if we rolled up to camp, got a fire going, ate like kings, and then bro drops his tailgate to play me angelic noises from the Nord, I MIGHT would sleep in his tent..

    We are working on a solution to be able to ship to the states. But yes, the tariffs throw a wrench into our plans for sure.

    For me, it was about knee pain when crawling into the bed. A flat surface is a bit better.

    Similarly, it is just a bit nicer to sit on.
