    Looks good, man! I’m interested in going the same route - ABS is definitely more affordable. Have you had any issues with it flexing/not being as rigid as the OEM one made of HDPE?

    ask my wallet about my modifications...
    Have you guys seen these?

    Hooke Road Black Tailgate Plastic Panel for Toyota Tacoma 05-20 (2nd & 3rd Gen) https://ebay.us/XWXS6F

    $124.24 for a MH knockoff... A routered edge and cup holders to boot.

    I can't find any reviews of them but I'm intrigued. Anyone have any first hand knowledge?

    Why would you spend $100+ on a rectangular piece of plastic when Relentless Offroad offers an aluminum piece for not much more that also wraps around the top of the tailgate

    the aluminum isn't really noticeable
    unless you weigh 60lbs

    maybe some people want plastic so they can bend the tailgate

    ask my wallet about my modifications...
    As fisherman and a car camper who always is in search of kitchen prep space,
    I think the idea of a HDPE panel is brilliant. MOAR CUTTING BOARD!! :sawzall::sandwich::broccoli::dancingbacon::hungry:
    I agree the relentless panel is way sexy, but either of these are too $$ for me. At the end of the day I think I'm going to try to make my own...
    Thanks @RCRcer for posting the measurements to get a rough idea for panel size.

    My work just bought several 5x10 sheets of black UHMW plastic for job that is getting pushed back and or possibly canceled. I'll see what the end cost would be to cut several of these on the laser if anyone is still interested.

    UHMW PE is a really interesting choice for this -- I like it. Put me down for one if you have room.
