    Has anyone seen an aftermarket tailgate cap made for the Taco? Mine is getting pretty chewed up ('cause I'm lazy and don't lift shit high enough). I would like to find one that is more substantial than stock and maybe extends a little further down the tailgate.....

    I agree with your post on the referenced thread, "I'd like a version that just replaces just the top portion of the factory piece. For my uses, that would be all I need. Would be a bit cheaper and less material since it would not have to cover the entire panel. Just the bendy portion that creates the strength needed."

    And In black....the stainless/aluminum is a bit too blitzy for me.....sturdy, thick plastic would work too.
