2006 Toyota Tacoma Truck Lift Gate protector

The plastic strip along the top of my tailgate is pretty banged up - wanted to get a replacement. Wasn't sure how. Any ideas? thx!

I've never seen a Tacoma with a lift gate. What are you hauling?

 

A couple of our vendors sell replacement metal ones that also serve to add rigidity. As well as a reinforcement for the plastic panel liner on the inside of the gate.

Or you could get a new one from the dealer, or a better one from a junkyard (maybe)

Here's a sample. There are others.

Sorry, I meant tailgate not liftgate. I did find this which is what I was wanting, but the metal one seems like a good option too:

It's called a tailgate cap I guess.

 

ooooohh, big difference. Well, the OEM one is stupid expensive. When I needed one, I had my local body shop get me an aftermarket one. I don't know what brand it is, but it's been doing just fine. After I get my new tailgate painted, I'm going to go with one of these. (If they ever get them back in stock)

I have the KB Voodoo one, even though it's just the top part. It makes the tailgate solid!!
