    Just did this in my '09 access. It took about 30 seconds and worked perfectly.

    Made a couple of paracord headrest hand-grips to assist riders get into the rear seats of my Gen2 2007 Taco sport access cab, after using the step rails. They may be ugly, but they work and match my front hand grip wraps that I made before, and showed in a post.

    Very nice fix for the rear slider locking issue. We have had a rash of vehicle break-ins in my neighborhood, and I noticed that someone tried to get into my slider, but didn't make it into the cab....just scratched the latch. We've had a lot of transients coming through late at night (some families as well), and once found out that someone had been sleeping in my truck bed under the the bed cover. No harm done, and I just noticed the tailgate down after they had left that morning, and some scuffs in the dust inside the bed. It had been cold and rainy that night.....so as long as no damage was done, not too angry.

    That is a good thing - being tolerant of humans seeking shelter in bad conditions.

    But I recommend making sure your tailgate has a physical security device to keep it from being stolen since you don't lock it. Locking it isn't enough security by itself anyway.

    I agree, and have installed one of the tailgate security suggestions from this site. It works great!! Thank you for responding and your advice.
