Hi Everyone! Welcome to the 2ND GEN TOYOTA TACOMA (2005-2011) & (2012-2015) POWER TAILGATE LOCK Information and Ordering Thread. I originally was one of those that spliced into my factory wiring, but I found a new love for Plug-N-Play Harnesses. They just make your life so much easier when it comes to cleaning up your wiring. It not only makes for a professional installation, it is extremely easy to connect and disconnect whenever necessary.

Let me introduce myself for those of you that may not know of me. I own a 2017 Toyota Tacoma and I am a regular on the 3rd Gen Toyota TacomaWorld Forum. To keep a long story short, I have been developing Plug-N-Play mods for quite some time now for the 3rd Gen Trucks and I have been asked to convert them to the 2nd Gen Trucks, as well as for the 2nd & 3rd Gen Tundra's. I do not have a 2nd Gen Tacoma, so I will definitely need some assistance along the way at times, but I think I’m off to a good start.

TAILGATE LOCK BY KTJO 4x4



PURPOSE:

2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma (2005-2011) & (2012-2015) Plug-N-Play Power Tailgate Lock

Soon to be Available on Ebay!

 

so the $95 kit it all you need? Seems like mainly running the line from the tailgate to the door and installing actuators? I have a pop an lock I picked up but did see your 3rd gen version and thought about see if it would work. Having a 2nd gen is even better.

 

Yes. That is correct! All for $95. Take a look at my personal install that I attached a link to above. I literally walk you through the whole process from start to finish. It’s very detailed. Now, obviously it is a 3rd Gen Truck and you will have to forgive me if there are slight differences between the two, but I can’t imagine that many with how the install will be between the two trucks.

The process of the install is probably going to be one of the easiest you’ll ever have to do. Once I am able to make the BNL, it will literally be a PNP from start to finish. You bolt the Bracket and Actuator in the Tailgate, Connect the Integrated Harness inside the Tailgate, Run the Harness along the Passenger Side of the Truck and through the Grommet under the Passenger Front Seat Area, then Run the Harness to the Passenger Kick Panel, and that is where you will Connect your Integrated Harness to your PNP Harness. Your PNP Harness will replace your OEM IK4 Harness and then your OEM IK4 Harness will plug directly into the female Connector on the PNP Harness. DONE!

 

Makes sense. I have to much stuff running back and forth already so if this helps make some part of it easier I am game. too many other projects that I need to focus time on. Looks like a clean setup. These ready to go now?

 

No. I’ve been getting hit by some 2nd Gens that have been asking me for some time now when am I going to convert my kit for the 2nd Gen people. So....I finally had some time and with the help of @caribe makaira, I was able to get your OEM Connectors that I would need to be able to convert my PNP Harness to make my Kit work. Now the only thing left for me to do is make the BNL for your Tailgate. Then this Kit is good to go. I created this thread to gather the interest level from the 2nd Gen Group. It would be nice to get a list of 100 interested before I place the order of 300 PNP Harnesses. Through my vendor, I have a minimum of 300 I would have to order. The great thing about these PNP Harnesses is that you can use them with other kits. For example, Pop-N-Lock. Unfortunately, for the price of their Kits, they have you tap into your Factory Wires. Well, not anymore. You can purchase my PNP Harness for $45 and attach it to their harness and not have to tap into your wires. Now I would suggest saving money and now buying their Kit, but this is if you already have purchased their kit and are out the money. A lot of 3rd Gen people bought my Kit and then just sold their Pop-N-Lock Kit and got their money Back.

 

for sure. I bought it used so not as bad and probably would just sell it cheap like I bought it. add me as interested then.

 

Will do

 

2015

 

Well 2nd Gens, this May be another area we need some clarification, between 2005-2015, can you confirm in your Passenger Kick Panel which Connector you have in your Truck please.







I need to know when this change occurred within your Generation!

Edit: Well I just received the Answer....that was quick! 2012!

 

UPDATE:

If you own a 2nd Gen Toyota Tacoma, you can order my current Kit now. When you place your order, you will need to state 2nd Gen so I just Switch the Pin Locations for you but minor detail. That’s easy!!!

I just need to finalize the Tailgate Handle otherwise you will have to do the Drill two hole install for a bit until that gets solved like the 3rd Gens has to do at the beginning of this process.

 

Probably won't work for a base reg cab, which has no options like power windows, power locks, fog lights, cruise, interval wipers, etc.

 

I’m interested but will wait for you to move beyond the R&D phase.

 

Subd

 

Sure it will

 

I’m interested in this mod when the handle gets all sorted out to allow me to save up extra for this mod since I wasn’t anticipating it haha. I feel like this happens a lot. But thanks @KTJO 4x4 for offering this for us 2nd gens.
