    As most know the 2nd gen tailgate was a poor design and would buckle under heavy load. A couple vendors and us have taken different approaches to fix this. Toyota clearly put more thought in to the tailgate on the 3rd gen. It is a lot thicker, and reinforced in areas where it makes sense. We still have a couple people asking for our tailgate reinforcement plate for the gen 3 just in case. I understand no one wants to replace a $600+ tailgate when they can reinforce it for under $250.

    Add me to the list! Come on guys, have some lack of faith in your tailgates so we can get a run of this!

    I'll take a tail gate cap. Put me down on the list. I can also pre-pay.

    I am interested and want this, BUT i'm not getting my truck until Feb - March next year. If your pictures are anything to go by, it looks clean and pro. Something I would pay for.

    This is something I will be considering, but have a few other projects to get complete first. Also those storage doors are something that is already on my to-do list from you guys. Will this tailgate be shipable to Canada, or with its size, will it not be feasible?

    I'm getting my truck Saturday, just got the call that it arrived today. I want to see the construction of my tailgate first before committing to this. This looks like something I could use, though I would probably just get line-x put on it for added durability and scratch resistance.

    Do you know how the added weight affects the dampener/shock on the 3rd gen tailgate?

    Edit: I just saw this in another thread:

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-tailgate-weight-rating.417926/


    Does anyone have any 3rd gen pics of the tailgate disassembled?

    Would your Tax Man Sale deal apply to this? Buy the skin get the cap free. Like the 2nd gen.

    I get my truck in the morning. I'll take a look at it, and take apart the tailgate to get some pictures of the inner workings of it. I'll post them once I figure out how to do so.

    Edit: got back from the dealer late, going to bed after working nights and being up all day. Pics in the AM

    After rethinking the issue and doing a little reading, please add me to the skin (ribbed) list as well. Will shipping charges be included in the price quoted? If not, what would be a good ballpark figure for shipping both to Tennessee?

    I'm going to check out the tailgate a little more see if I really need this. But I'm leaning toward yes for the skin.
