    Removed the tail gate cover to install a Pop and Lock tail gate lock and found a bunch of these little plastic parts just kinda floating around. Probably not important but was wondering what they might be?

    Small lift, slightly oversized tires, well...
    Toyota puts a lot of extra unnecessary pieces in their trucks...

    Sorry, I'm of no help, but low hanging fruit...:rofl:

    I put a pop&lock on mine and I do not recall seeing anything like those. I guess if everything works you are ok. I think I’d hang on to them in case you ever find a need for them.
