    Ok, finally got it installed!
    Used some spit to lube it so it slid into place against the rubber edging.
    The hardest part was breaking that T40 bolt loose.

    After trying day before with no luck using my makita 18v impact driver (going forward/reverse) and getting nowhere, I hit it with some PB blaster and left it sit overnight.

    Round 3, used a ratchet strap from the hitch to one of the bed tie down loops I added to hold the tailgate in the perfect spot.

    Again nada on the impact driver then did as Chris suggested to use a small punch right in the center of the recess.
    I had a 1/8” pin punch, a nail would probably work too.

    More makita didn’t seem to do anything so I used the 1/2” breaker bar with an adapter and extension…..came right out clean.

    Very nice product, looks factory!

    At first it looked like my bracket was bent wrong, but after I learned it was a "squish to fit" installation it went right in. On the right side I have about 1mm clearance between the bracket and the composite part of the tail light section.

    I chose orange for tweaker visibility. I should have done this A DECADE AGO!!!

    Glad I found this post and installed it, heard on the news just now about tacomas in my general area being targeted for tailgate theft!

    It can be sometimes, send me your shipping info and I can check. I cover up to $10 dollars anything over that you will have to cover.

    Got it thx,
    From the amount of money you sent, I'm assuming you want a 2nd gen with the T45 safety screw?
    Plz confirm as this will delay your order.
    Thx
