I cant believe we dont have locking tailgates? Any good aftermarket fixes?

What the fuck toyota

 

Pop n lock

3rd gens have them. Even rigged into the rest of the door locks.

 

It's brutal...

There is an aftermarket handle that locks called 'pop & lock'--that's the only aftermarket part I've found. I never bought it because of its negative reviews.

My solution? I bought a topper that has locks!

 

I was just reading up on a thread about the one that uses the fob and key etc. How durable are they? I work construction and things get a little abused

 

Same here. Bought an Undercover Topper that locks and makes it so the tailgate won’t open.

 

There’s someone on here who sells a $15 solution that goes on the hinge of your tailgate that requires a tool to remove.

I’m buying one soon, it’s not a lock but it’ll keep your tailgate from getting stolen so easily.

 

I guess I feel like a regular sized tweaker could literally rip my tailgate down even through my leer locks

 

My truck came used with a locking tonneau so I’m safe.

 

The pop n lock ones are reasonably durable. For a construction rig though, I might pass.

 

Ha! My old topper had a single latch in the middle and even when locked could easily be opened. My new one has the double latches and is much stronger. I agree though that if someone really forced it they could still get in...

 

I'm just sick of rolling around with all my tools in the back seat. It's getting dusty etc and I cant afford to have them stolen etc

 

people like me never saw need for one nor tonneau cover dyi lock to prevent tailgate thief is all I need

 

I put a hose clamp on mine, at least it'll slow them down.

 

It sounds like dynolock is better than pop n lock, anyone know something about them?

 

More details please! Where do you attach/access the hose clamp?

 

I think hes referring to locking the tailgate to truck so tweakers dont steal the entire tail gate vs just a lock that prevents it from being opened

 

Gotcha--thanks!

 

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone rigged an electric door lock for the rear tail gate handle which would work with the rest of the locks. I think they may have done it with the gas cap door as well.

Anyways, it's somewhere here on the forum. If someone is feeling adventurous to dive down that proverbial rabbit hole.

 

I think I will ahha I dont want a pop n lock and I dont want to keep my tools in my back seat all the time

 

Sounds like you need a proper tool box that locks hella secure and bolts to the frame / bed of the truck
