    It is and there is no code. When you place your order, just put in the notes section your TW user name and that you are from the forum. We add the cap and eat the extra shipping automatically.

    Got mine with the free cap. Ordered the rivets and bolts.
    Went together well, except one of the rivets did not deform properly and would not stay in the hole. So I don't have a bolt on one of the holes.
    Got the ribbed one, and it is tough. Its heavy, and lifting the gate takes more effort.
    I recommend it. My tailgate shouldn't bend when I wheel my motorcycle up on it, or when I carry an 800 pound bale of hay.

    Hi All,
    Just got my ribbed reinforcement plate bolt kit and free cap. Install went great, but after about half the inserts were in the bolt had some issues and wouldn't tighten the inserts well enough. So I put a 1/8" washer in between the nut and bolt and it knocked out the rest no problem. The plate adds some heft to the tailgate for sure. Great solid product.

    I installed my smooth one this past friday. Put the stock one over the top, then my bedrug over that.It now feels like a real tailgate. It feels solid to sit on now, like its not going to bend. Great job Mobtown, nice product.

    Are you still offering the free cap as posted below from a previous comment? The last comment I saw saying you were still offering this was March 18th, just wanted to check before I place an order. Thanks!

    "It is and there is no code. When you place your order, just put in the notes section your TW user name and that you are from the forum. We add the cap and eat the extra shipping automatically. "

    "For all those who have orders placed for these with the free cap, we are very sorry for the delay. We normally ship all completed orders every Monday. With the sale we sold way more than expected and ran out of caps. But never fear, more are going through right now and we expect to have them ready to ship by the 29th!

    As always, we are still taking orders so place one today for a $70 savings!"

    My flat skin and hardware arrived the other day. Truly a beautiful piece of work.

    Had to get creative with the last few nutserts.

    Finished product. Factory look and piece of mind when loading up the bike for the track. I'll be ordering a cap when they're back in stock. Thanks again Mobtown!

    Looks great . That's the look I am going for . Waiting for mine to come in . Where dos the wether strip go . I down loaded the instution and it didn't say anything about weather striping . I did read where other guys lined the whole tail gate . Is that what it's for and is it necessary?

    Just installed mine today and the skin fit great but am having trouble with the tailgates cap. I can't get the the metal cap to fit with the OEM cap on top. There's several tabs that snap into the tailgate that are in the way with the metal cap installed. Ideas other than removing all the tabs?

    We have about 25 left. This will likely be the last batch, unless interest were to suddenly grow. We just don't sell enough of them to make the investment in the inventory. Our last batch of 50 flat skins was made in Aug 2015 and we still have about half of them.

    Missing My Last Tacoma --- Had 11 Toyota trucks in the past and many other Toyota cars too.
    .
    This "tailgate plate" is what I am looking for a 2016.

    Had a diamond plate one on last Tacoma and it was great.

    PS ... I don't want to go through 14 pages ... Do you have a model to fit a 2016 tailgate and price & shipping costs to 30350 ? ...... Thanks :D
