Mobtown Offroad Bolt On Tailgate Reinforcement Plate for 2016+ Tacoma

Just placed my order for the ribbed one, additional hardware and the free cap. Been holding off for sometime, but with the free cap to good of deal to miss. I messed up my tailgate plastic cover and cap when the truck was new on the first load of bathroom renovation stuff that went to the recycle place.

 

how did you get a free cap? i literally just ordered one a couple hours ago and saw nothing about a free cap

 

He is second gen Tacoma, just posted in wrong thread is all.

 

so if you buy one for a second gen you get a free cap?

Also if i just put in an order today, do you have an estimated shipping date?

 

Yup, that is the current deal.

The 3rd gen parts are currently in the Pre-order stage. Many ppl (for some reason) seemed eager to give us money before we actually had the parts complete. We are thinking they are gonna be finished up next week. Everyone who order a tailgate reinforcement skin for a 2016 should see their order ship shortly afterward.

 

Yup. Take my money mobtown!

 

That's not entirely accurate. We were told parts were in and ready to ship. So we placed our orders. Then there was a later update that said you guys misspoke.

 

A partial mistake. We originally told everyone 6 weeks which is our typical lead time for first run parts. Then vendor shipped them sooner, but they messed up and shipped us an incorrect part. We didn't catch it until orders started coming in which messed us up. Good news is we expect them to be ready to ship hopefully late next week or early the week after. Once we get passed the hick up we will be good to go and will have stock.

 

Please don't misunderstand, I'm not upset at all. I know you guys are busy, you ship a good product (Mike and I just installed your sliders on our trucks). Production errors happen, and you guys have kept us up to date with the errors, so no biggie.

The only thing missing was a few nuts in both of the boxes, but a trip to Home Depot and dealing with a guy hogging up the bins was all it took. The instructions are not very accurate at all, and you seemed to ship some extra bolts that were not necessary as well as those long handled washers. I will say one of those long handled washers did become my new washer and nut assembly for that damn carrier bolt that was stripped out. Just a quick hack of the long tail and we were good to go.

 

I'm not overly thrilled with our instructions either. It was something I made quickly and just need to address more time and detail. I will do my best over the next couple weeks to do a good write up with photos.

 

Is there anyway the 3rd gen guys can get the free tailgate cap as well?

 

Sorry, not at this time.

 

Well Joe, looks like my April 18th guesstimate is going to be just about right. When will the caps be ready to ship? Have you
decided on an estimated cost yet? I'm still patiently waiting, I know the quality of your mods and willing to wait for a top-notch
product. Please keep us undated on your progress, even if it is only to tell us that they aren available yer or that your powder
coater is running behind. Any news is better than no news.

 

Joe, how many 3rd gens are waiting delivery of the skin, and how many are waiting for the cap? Just curious what your shipping requirements will be once everything is in-house and ready to go.

 

Can we expect to see pictures of the 2016 cap any time soon?

 

Update on this? Did your powder coating guy die or something?

 

Also, on your website, it still shows the '16 skins are being in stock.

I am still waiting for mine and I'm sure it will be worth it.

 

I have a tracking number! Should be here tomorrow!

 

They all shipped on Friday. Sometimes our emails get kicked by the spam bots. I will send everyone their tracking info tonight. But they are on their way. Most should be delivered this week.

 

Skin just arrived via FedEx! It came slightly "bowed" due to no bracing in the packaging
and rough handling by FedEx. Packaging should have included a label instructing that
it be shipped flat. Extra hardware came in clear resealable bag. There were no instructions or invoice included. Product quality is excellent, powder coating impeccable with no visible blemishes/flaws. Cannot wait to get it installed. Thank you Joe for another outstanding Mobtown Offroad mod!
