    SOLD: Gar-Fab smooth HDPE tailgate panel to fit either Gen 2 or Gen 3 Tacoma.

    These smooth (with a grained texture) CNC-machined high density polyethylene (HDPE)tailgate panels are one of the happiest mods on my Gen 2. Replacing the corrugated original panel with one of these makes sitting on the tailgate or kneeling on it to get into the bed a LOT more comfortable. It's about a ten minute job to install, taking a break partway through.

    That said, because of the natural slipperiness of polyethylene, things will move around a bit easier on it. That can be a plus or a minus. TBH, it's been mostly a minus for me. But I still love this thing.

    This second one was intended as a gift to friends with a Gen 3 truck. But they went the Bed Rug route and this one has been orphaned in my garage for a couple of years. Time for it to find a new home.

    This one has never been used, but note that one corner has a tiny bend in the plastic from getting knocked in the package. I've tried to capture that in one of the images below. Zero impact on fit/function, and barely any (truly) on cosmetics.

    A new one is about US$180 delivered to the US. How about $110 via PayPal for this one, shipping included to a continental US address.

    It's packed and ready to send. I'm going to be camping in the southwest from around October 10-November 15 and I'm not planning to bring this along. If someone grabs it before I depart, I'll get it in the mail. Otherwise, any transaction will be on hold until November.

    Thanks for looking --
