BUYER BEWARE: 3rd Gen Plug-N-Play Tailgate Bolt-N-Lock & Tailgate Bolt-N-Open

Does the pop n lock have jb welded pins on that frame?

 

Mine doesn’t look like that at all.

 

How old is yours? How does it interface with the lock mechanism?

Edit: I see, bent tabs.

 

I bought it a month ago and yea the tabs slide the lock back and forth. Works really well.

 

In for a full kit if still open for current batch

 

Yes for better leverage of engaging and disengaging the lock

 

Installed mine yesterday. Started doing a video of the install, then screwed it up a few times, got frustrated and stopped videoing. Wife was rotating the tires on her Jeep behind me and I kept hearing, "Are you talking to me?" as I was narrating the video.

Happy to announce that the rod you attach to the actuator is long enough that when you fuck it up and have to toss your initial attempt, you can take the remainder and bend it into a hook through the actuator and still make it work.

 

I'll testify this is true (also from personal experience).

 

I got mine installed on Saturday. I used a piece of thick weatherstripping foam between the actuator and the tailgate. i did the "ring" method and soldered on the ring. That was the most difficult part - wiring was a breeze. Worst part was dealing with the oil undercoating that i spray on before every winter. Took about 2 hours. Thanks Katie!

 

Haven't checked this thread in a while, any huge tips I need to know before installing this today? Anyone post a video yet?

 

UPDATE:

300 have officially been SOLD OUT, but I do have like 15 that I had sitting around before I received my bulk order that I have up for sell and I'm currently putting together. I will make the finally count tonight, but I'm pretty sure that is how many are there and available. I have placed a NEW BULK ORDER!!

If you are wanting to place a NEW ORDER, GO AHEAD! Once these last 15 are gone, I will start a NEW LIST and that will begin the wait list for the NEW BATCH that we will be waiting for its ARRIVAL! You can still place your order!

 

Got it installed today. Took about 2-2.5 hours. Took me a minute to figure out how to mount the actuator but once I got that everything else went smooth.

 

Wonder where I am on the list lol. I sent when the list was at around 200. Toyota should seriously start thinking you are on to something here ha. No rush from me over here, just broke my collar bone so will be laying low for a bit.

 

Check post #2. It has a list of delivered kits and statuses of those that have been ordered listed by your TW name. It was updated today too.

 

Yeah I checked. I’m not on there. I’m sure im just on the long list. No big deal.

 

Pmd. I want a full kit!

 

PM @KTJO 4x4 . She’s great to work with and will respond quickly.

 

Yeah she’s great, but no need to bother. She’s probably super busy.

 

I will check it out. I did some editing and I may have over looked it. Anyhow, I will get yours out to you ASAP. Sorry Man!

 

I'm about to send out 20 orders in the mail, now 21 ! You can check your email. You should have a tracking number that was sent to you
