    Got mine the other day, installed it Saturday afternoon. Definitely worth it, the actuator doesn't wobble at all. Very good product.

    Great idea. I got the P&L yesterday and looked over the instructions and thought it was odd it only mounted with the one bolt... seemed flimsy. Purchased. I don't even have my truck yet and keep buying things!

    Was thinking about installing a Pop-N-Lock on my Taco but had read some bad reviews regarding their durability. Are the pop n lock replacement tailgate lock kit pretty well built? Might want to do this mod...

    I want one, but as stated above have heard nothing but a lot of bad reviews on Pop N Lock's recently. Are the power locking versions any better?

    In your instruction pix, it looks like you used spade type connectors. Did you use them in place of the connectors supplied, and if so why? Or did P&L not supply them when you bought? Thanks!!

    I installed my
    $122 PL8521 Pop & Lock – Power Tailgate Lock for Toyota Tacoma, Fits Models 2005 to 2015 (PL8521)
    PL8521 last week, and the single bracket that it comes with was so flimsy that the tailgate didn't even lock. In the locked position, if you just pull a little harder on the latch, it would come right open. I immediately ordered this bracket, and problem solved. I am a very happy customer! Shipped quick, and worked perfectly! I highly recommend to anyone that wants a P&L power lock.

    I just ordered this. When the package arrived there was a tear in it and the part was missing.
    Now I cant even get a hold of the guy because along with the website the email is down.
