    Anyone able to locate a fairly detailed pdf or similar, for the 2nd-gen tacoma tail gate assembly? I want to see the part names, or part-numbers in there so i can get a better idea of what pieces i need to order to fix my issue below - thanks for the help!

    Only my left-side hinge unlocks when pulling the handle and after a bit of work, i was able to take most of the tailgate apart and unlock the right-side with a bit of force.

    Thanks for the help - i saw this too, but the locking mechanism is actually attached by 2 bolts inside the tailgate itself on both left/right sides. In this diagram you attached, i dont believe they're listed or shown unless its the lock assemblies, but the picture really doesnt reflect what i see
