    I just learned that there is a handful of tailgate thefts around my area, and the last thing I need is driving around like a doofus without a tailgate. I have a 2010 Taco with a backup camera, but I can't find any tailgate locks for it. Any suggestions?

    check out the hose clamp mod or the pop and lock mod, or you could put a locking cover on?

    I got the same one ^^^^ from Truck Alterations for my '09 and it works great with my backup camera.

    Cheers.

    I thought so, but wasn't completely sure. I knew someone would come in and correct me. :thumbsup:

    +1, bought a dynolock lock week and installed it last night. Works great! Lock and unlocks with the key fob.

    True, I'm very happy with mine, good investment.

    O.P. search 'Hose clamp' or something like that, you can put a hose clamp over the notched side of the tailgate hinge; it's not fool proof but it will definitely slow/stop someone from just walking off with it (they'll need tools). Someone on here made a video of how quick he could 'jack' the tailgatge... it took him like 2 seconds to be off and out!
